Add another textfield and when the particular button was clicked, it changes the text field to the color of the button. I am new to VB, help would be greatly appreciated.

So putting controls on your form is as simple as dragging the control from the ToolBox and dropping it on your form. What have you tried so far? Have you opened VS and created a project, yet?

If you're trying to change the color of the text then you want to use the ForeColor property and if it's just the background color of the text box then use the BackColor property. And as stated above, place the code you write in the OnClick events.
