You're wellcome !
Glad to know it helped you.

>>>Hi Mike,

>>>Thanks for the sample. I've seen some code very similar to this that "dims" the controls on a form. What I'm looking for, I suppose, is the opposite effect where the colors get "brighter". I'm clueless about the GDI library, its classes and RGB color values.
