BackColorFocus property

Remarks

The RGB (Red Green Blue) color used for the button surface when the it has the input focus and the FocusMode property value is set to 2.

If the SpecialEffect property is set to a value different from SPECEFF_NONE (0) this property would affect only the internal portion of the button surface: you can switch the colors of the internal portion with the colors of the external portion through the InvertEffectsColors property.

If this color should be left undefined, the BackColor property settings would be kept: you can swap the colors of the internal portion with the colors of the external portion through the SwapEffectsColors property.

This setting can also be modified through the abmSetSurfaceColorDesc function.

This property is ignored when the Surface property is set to SURFACE_VISTA_AERO, SURFACE_OFFICE_2003, SURFACE_OFFICE_2007 and no special effect has been set through the SpecialEffect property.
