i want to change the button color in the runtime. is it possible
by using set_item_property. if not, can we set by using property palette at design time.

I don't have Forms here (especially 6i version) so I can't check Online Help, but Forms 9i documentation says that BACKGROUND_COLOR is valid for items, tab pages, radio buttons, canvases and windows. Buttons aren't mentioned, so I *suppose* that you can't do that. Though, someone might know better.
Possible workaround? Create two buttons, one on the top of another, with different background colors. Then, during runtime, display/hide them - to the end user, it would be the same as if a button changed its color.
In order to easily maintain code behind the button (i.e. WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger), put its code into a procedure and simply call that procedure from both buttons' WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED triggers.
