I really need help working with cases, I'm only learning it so far, but just can't get a drop down menu to work that would change the background of a Textbox.
Private Sub cbColours_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbColours.SelectedIndexChanged
    Select Case colours
        Case Is = "Red"
            txtSpace.BackColor = Color.Red
        Case Is = "Blue"
            txtSpace.BackColor = Color.Blue
        Case Is = "Green"
            txtSpace.BackColor = Color.Green
    End Select
End Sub
It isn't doing anything at all...
In the dropdown menu, it has
Red, Blue and Green one per line
When the value (e.g. Green) is clicked, it will then change the Textbox to the colour selected.
Many help appreciated :)
