So click Form1

The Name will be Red, Click again Name will be in White, Click again Name will be Blue , click again Name will be Purple, click again the Name will be Orange, and the process startes all over again..

Public Class Form1
    Dim MyColors(2) As Color 'Global
    Dim Num As Integer 'Global, automatically initialized to 0

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As  _

You can also use modular division to loop the index through the five color values.
Example:
Num = (Num +1) Mod 5

Open in new window

Change

IF Num > 4 Then Num = 0

to

IF Num >=0 4 Then Num = 0
