Description

Returns or sets the Background Color of the GlobeControl. Internally the OLE_Color is stored as a long integer where the value may be calculated for any RGB combination as follows:

OLE_Color = (Red) + (Green * 256) + (Blue * 256 * 256)

Where Red, Green and Blue are Long Integers within the range 0 - 255.

To ensure the BackColor property overrides any background color set in a globe document, set the OverrideBackColor to true.
