May be you can try GetPixel API function to have the color of the pixel :<br />
color = GetPixel(MDIform1.picture.<wbr />hdc, x, y)<br />
where x and y stand for the right (and top or left) most coordinates.<br />
<br />
And then set the back ground property of the mdi form :<br />
MDIform1.BackColor = color<br />
<br />

I tried on an MDI form.<br />
Make sure that MDIform1.HasDC = True and then call :<br />
color = GetPixel(MDIform1.hDC, x, y)<br />
<br />
(i just belived that MDIform1.picture was a PictureBox, and PictureBox used to have one hdc).

Pixel Color and MDI workspace color

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
