Hi, I'm trying to change the text-color of a button this way: Main_Frm->Read_Btn->Font->Color = clRed; but it doesn't do anything, no color-change, why? Thanks!

Because it is not supposed to. TButton does not support custom coloring at all. It gets its coloring from the OS itself by using the settings that are configured in the Control Panel. The only reason the Font property exists in TButton is because it is published by TControl. If you want a colorizable button, then you need to give TButton the BS_OWNERDRAW style and then subclass it to handle the WM_DRAWITEM message. Or else use TBitBtn or TSpeedButton instead, which are already owner-drawn buttons. Or find a third-party colorizable button.

Hi, had the same problem,in case of a TButon, it is not possible as the colour is handled by Windows. This question appears frequently and the solution is a self-made button with a TPanel or a TBitBtn. You may find several hints in older threads or in Google.
