Solved Change Label Color of Field Form based on value (1 Viewer)

[kengooch]

I have a form with a check box named [tConcur] If the user clicks the checkbox on, I want the label of the check box to change to Green.
this is what I tried, but it doesn't work.

Private Sub tConcur_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If (tConcur = -1) Then
Me!LConc.BackColor = vbGreen
Else
LConc.BackColor = RGB(239, 211, 210)
End If
End Sub

Use Me prefix ?

You can set this in CONDITIONAL FORMATTING, thus remove the need to write code.

Thanks for the thought, but Conditional Formatting doesn't work with a check box

Check that the BackStyle is Normal and not Transparent.

Is BeforeUpdate the correct event to use for this? I would normally use After update ...

I think Paul has hit the nail on the head! I recall having a similar problem with an Option Group. I couldn't work out why the colour of the label wouldn't change? I blogged about it on my website here:-

Option Group Label Color Change

There's a YouTube video explaining the issue.

There's a sample file available. To get it for free, use Coupon Code:- 6p7nqrv

Thanks so much everyone... I will try the AfterUpdate and look into the Video! Thanks for the Coupon Code!

The one I always used was "LostFocus" as a time to verify that the control's color was correct.

For me BeforeUpdate changes the backcolor.

The BeforeUpdate and Onclick event both worked for me, but only after changing the BackStyle property?

I think I have confused the issue in this thread. I referred to Gasman as Paul without being clear as to who I was referring to.

Gasman originally said:-

Check that the BackStyle is Normal and not Transparent.

And I replied:-

I think Paul has hit the nail on the head! (Gasman)

The label colour is changing, but you can't see it because the label BackStyle is set to transparent by default.

Remedy this and the colour change will become apparent.
