# BackColor or St_BackColor

The box shows the background color for the object or state. Click it to select another color. A color palette opens. Click the color to use, or click Other to select from a broader range of colors.

If the BackStyle property is Transparent, the background color is not used. For objects with a LineStyle property other than Solid, the background color is used for the spaces between the dots or dashes.
