Converting colors

[kejpa]

Hi,
How do I save my favorite color to the Registry and then use it for the color of a textbox?!?

I tried

oRegKey.SetValue("FavoriteBackColor", txtFavorite.BackColor.ToArgb, RegistryValueKind.DWord)

txtFavorite.BackColor = CType(oRegKey.GetValue("FavoriteBackColor"), Color)

but it doesn't work. "Integer can't be converted to Color" I'm told....

TIA

Use the Color.FromARGB method

'something like
txtFavorite.BackColor = Color.FromARGB(oRegKey.GetValue("FavoriteBackColor"), Integer)

you could convert the color to the ARGB values and save those in the registry and convert it back to a color using color.fromargb

Thanx PD,

txtFavorite.BackColor = Color.FromARGB(cInt(oRegKey.GetValue("FavoriteBackColor")))

Made the trick
