Is there some kind of color name available when I mouse over the colors? Regards Bob Mc

Look into the vb.net  Color.FromARGB  call.  When I look at the drop down list of colors - they have names - where do I get the RGB values? It would be better if you can give me a detailed example - I get the "A" = opacity part but don't have aclue as to how to use what you said Regards Bob Mc

The drop down list is a short cut to pre-defined colors (RGB values).  R = Red, G = Green, B = Blue.  Color.Red = Color.FromARGB(255,255,0,0).   Color.Blue = color.FromARGB(255,0,0,255) You can use the built in windows program "Paint" to get RGB values for colors or you can use an online color picker.
