Syntax

PROPERTY BackColorBkg () AS OLE_COLOR

PROPERTY BackColorBkg (BYVAL clr AS OLE_COLOR)

Parameters

Name		Description
`clr`		An OLE_COLOR value, such as a Visual Basic constant (e.g. vbDarkGray), a hex code, or an RGB value.

Description

Returns or sets the background color of the grid. This property affects the overall appearance of the grid, especially when the control is larger than the total number of rows and columns displayed.

Remarks

While BackColor sets the background for individual non-fixed data cells, BackColorBkg fills the "unused" space at the bottom and right of the grid. By default, this is often set to a dark gray color.

In hierarchical views, BackColorUnpopulated specifically targets the space within bands that does not contain data, whereas BackColorBkg is for the global control background.

A common practice is to set BackColorBkg to match the background color of the parent form to create a "borderless" or seamless appearance.

Example

' Sets the unused area background to white grid.BackColorBkg = vbWhite

' To make it seamless with the form background grid.BackColorBkg = this.BackColor
