Hi, I have seen the colour chart posted in the FAQ, does anyone have an equivalent chart that can be used for c#? I am currently trying to set the forecolor of a line object, which takes an integer value.

I have tried the following but it throws a runtime error saying the parameter is incorrect

arrow.Line.ForeColor = Color.Red.ToArgb();

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks tea_boy

Hi,

Just use the int value. Color in windows is the 3 lower byte of integer. Lowest is red, second is green, higher is blue.

Code:

arrow.Line.ForeColor = 0x0000FF; // red
arrow.Line.ForeColor = 0x00FF00; // green
arrow.Line.ForeColor = 0xFF0000; // blue

and so you can mix and have any color value, chrominance and intensity you wants. If you experiment a bid you dont need all these constands anymore

Code:

Olive   0x008080
Navy    0x800000
Purple  0x800080
Teal    0x808000
Gray    0x808080
Silver  0xC0C0C0
