Referring to your question title, "How to reset to default button BackColor?" , I solved my problem by:

Create another button, say ButtonFoo, and set it to invisible,

ButtonFoo.visible = False

and you can use this button to get its color (since it is a default color) to reset your another button color, for example,

ButtonChangedColor.BackColor = ButtonFoo.BackColor

There you go; color is restored to its default :)

Button1.BackColor = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Control)

Use the FromKnowColor to access the system colors. It is really that simple.

CommandButton1.BackColor = vbButtonFace

PropertyName is BackColor and the color you want is in System Colors -> Control

Answer 5

To restore the default background and foreground to a button use:

Button1.BackColor = SystemColors.ButtonFace;
Button1.ForeColor = default(Color);
Button1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
