I have a button that the backcolor is set in the properties window as gray text from the system tab. (This is just the default backcolor setting for a button when you first put it on the form.)

In my code I change the button's backcolor to red with the following line:

Button.BackColor = Color.Red

However, I want to later on in the code change it back to the original color of the gray text. Can anyone tell me how to do this? In Color. there is a gray color but it is not the same gray. I do not know how to get the backcolor back to the systems gray text.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!

Wow Thank you, That worked great. I had tried all different combinations trying to use System. I just couldn't ever find the right combination. The code looks like this:

Bttn.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.GrayText

Thanks for your help!!
