Create a Left to Right Gradient Form using the basic RGB colors. Quick and EZ.
VBcoders
'On the form create the following:
'3 Default Command Buttons (names should be: Command1, Command2, and Command3)
'1 Default Label (name should be: Label1)
'Change the Form StartupPosition property to Center Screen (2) if desired
'Don't worry about the size of the Form or placement of the Command Buttons or the Label.
'The program will change the default properties as needed.
'[There is more coding used to Setup postions than actually displaying the Gradient Form!]
'Now just copy everything below into the Code portion of the Form and Run it - that's it!
'The program is sparsely commented
