MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / September 2004Set TaskPane Background
I am designing my first InfoPath task pane. In an effort to make the panes look more professional, i would like the background color of my taskpane to match the background color of the application and toolbars and so forth. I could hardcode this, but if a user has a slightly different set of preferences then it will look messy. Is there any way to use either C# code or script to get the background color of the application(toolbars, and taskpane border), so that I can set my taskpane to the same color? Any help is greatly apprciated! >I am designing my first InfoPath task pane.

Refer to the "User-Defined System Color" section http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/colors/colors.asp Regards, Steve -- Please post questions to the newsgroup; everyone benefits.

Sample code subject to http://www.microsoft.com/info/cpyright.htm Try as you might, these colors won't get you what you are looking for. The differnece comes from the fact that InfoPath is using "Office" colors, and the link below is "Windows System" colors. They are different. I've tried this quite extensively. You can get kind of close, but you'll never match until you can somehow get access to the Office color set.

I just set the backgorund color of my taskpane to "scrollbar" which seems to match the taskpane border perfectly. thanks for the help. Greg > >I am designing my first InfoPath task pane.
