Toggle Button Colors Dim When Depressed

[jdharrin]

I have a Toggle Button that locks and unlocks the current sheet for editing. I change the Toggle Button color and text when it locks and unlocks (Locked = Green; Unlocked = Red). For some reason, when I click the toggle button, it changes text and color as expected, but when depressed, the red is a light greyish red, not bright red like the green color is. It's like the Toggle button has some type of grey screen overlay layer over it when depressed. I've searched the Toggle Button's properties and can't find a link to what's causing this color change. Anyone have any ideas what I might check?

Note: I'm using the RGB(255,0,0) for the red (which should be bright red) and RGB(0,255,0) for the green.

The color grays when you click it so you can tell whether it's on or off. That's the nature of a toggle button. It's not typical to use two different colors.

Since you want to use two different colors, I would suggest you use a Command Button instead, but then you will have to code in the state (have a variable that starts out False, then True when it's clicked, False when it's clicked again, etc.)

If you need more specific help please attach the file you are working with and indicate the location of the button.

Thank you for your help. I assumed there would be a way to turn that grey screen off in the toggle button. I can easily convert it to a Command Button.
