Can I get RGB values from ColorDialog selection ? 2

[HarryMangurian]

I want to use the standard VB .NET ColorDialog control and then obtain the RGB components of the selected color.

Can this be done ?

Boy did you ask the right question on the right day!

The standard VB .NET ColorDialog control returns a color object, and to get the argb values, you use the Color.ToArgb Method.

This will return you the Alpha, Red, Green, and Blue values.
Or you can use Color.A, Color.R, Color.G, Color.B.

Do a search for Color object in the help.

Hope this helps...

Color.R etc. works like gangbusters.

Many thanks !!

A quick try at Color.toArgb did not work.
I am missing something in using that.
If I get time I will research it.

It should work fine. I'll do a quick test project and let you know. I have not used it yet. I needed rgp to color and not the oppisit.

Try this and see if it's clearer.

Dim c As Color, i As Integer, k As Color

'Create a red color and assign to c
c = Color.Red

'Assign the color back to it's numeric value
i = c.ToArgb()

'Show the numeric value converted back to a color.
Debug.WriteLine(k.FromArgb(i))
