Can't answer this directly, but in cases of design and aesthetics, I've often used labels as command buttons to maintain a "flat" look and feel...might not be the best way of doing things, but hey, the have an OnClick event.



You could also make a label look like a button by making it raised, then making it sunk OnClick. You can obviously change a labels colour to whatever you want.

I don't know of a way to change a command buttons surface colour though...it's something I've looked for a lot.

EDIT : Also, see http://www.mcse.ms/archive147-2004-9-1110356.html for lots of tips on command button colour.
