BackColor

 

Use this property to return/set a value that determines the background color the chart area will be displayed in.

Value is a long integer.  You may also use the RGB function to set the color.   Default: &HC0C0C0 (i.e Light Grey).

 

Example

longValue = XYChartCtrl.BackColor        'Returns the chart's background color

XYChartCtrl.BackColor = RGB(0,0,0)       'Three different methods for setting the chart's
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = vbBlack          'background color to Black
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = &h00

XYChartCtrl.BackColor = RGB(0,0,255)     'Three different methods for setting the chart's
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = vbBlue           'background color to Blue
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = &hFF0000

XYChartCtrl.BackColor = RGB(0,255,0)     'Three different methods for setting the chart's
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = vbGreen          'background color to Green
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = &hFF00

XYChartCtrl.BackColor = RGB(255,0,0)     'Three different methods for setting the chart's
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = vbRed            'background color to Red
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = &hFF

XYChartCtrl.BackColor = RGB(255,255,255) 'Three different methods for setting the chart's
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = vbWhite          'background color to White
XYChartCtrl.BackColor = &hFFFFFF

XYChartCtrl.Refresh                      'Refresh required to update chart with changes made
