D.I.C Addict Joined: 9 Jun, 2009 Posts: 527 Thanked: 107 times My Contributions	This is how I would do it: CODE int color = 1; private void lblpcolor1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Convert event to MouseEventArgs so we can find out which mousebutton was clicked MouseEventArgs me = (MouseEventArgs)e; if (me.Button == MouseButtons.Left) color++; else if (me.Button == MouseButtons.Right) color--; if (color > 10) color = 1; else if (color < 1) color = 10; ChangeLabelColor(lblpcolor1); } private void ChangeLabelColor(Label lbl) { switch (color) { case 1: lbl.BackColor = Color.Red; break; case 2: lbl.BackColor = Color.Orange; break; case 3: lbl.BackColor = Color.Yellow; break; case 4: lbl.BackColor = Color.Green; break; case 5: lbl.BackColor = Color.Cyan; break; case 6: lbl.BackColor = Color.Blue; break; case 7: lbl.BackColor = Color.Purple; break; case 8: lbl.BackColor = Color.Black; break; case 9: lbl.BackColor = Color.White; break; case 10: lbl.BackColor = Color.Gray; break; } } I hope this helps you. Also don't hesitate to ask if there is anything confusing in my solution.

Also don't hesitate to ask if there is anything confusing in my solution. I've changed a bit to apply to my code, thanks a lot for the help. Also I would like to ask if I use this "private void ChangeLabelColor(Label lbl)" can I apply it to other labels with the same function?
