SwapEffectsColors property

Remarks

When a special effect has been selected through the SpecialEffect property, swaps the colors set for the external and internal portions of the button's surface.

Below you can see two buttons whose SpecialEffect property has been set to SPECIAL_EFFECT_RAISED. The button on the left has the BackColor property set to a light blue and the BackColorInterior property set to red. The button on the right has exactly the same color settings but the SwapEffectsColors property has been set to TRUE, resulting in a swap of the involved colors.
