| Color | A color expression that indicates the alternate background color. If the first byte of four is 7F, the color is applied to the items section only. For instance, a value of 0x7F0000FF indicates that the BackColorAlternate property is red, and it applied to the items section only, so the non-items section is not painted. |
By default, the control's BackColorAlternate property is zero. Use the BackColorAlternate property to specify the background color used to display alternate items in the control. The control ignores the BackColorAlternate property if it is 0 ( zero ). Use the BackColor property to specify the control's background color. Use the SelBackColor property to specify the selection background color. Use the ItemBackColor property to specify the item's background color. Use the CellBackColor property to specify the cell's background color. Use the Def(exCellBackColor) property to specify the background color for all cells in the column. If the first two bytes of the BackColorAlternate property are 0x7F, the non-items area is not filled.
