Hi i wanna save the color setting and retrieve it


on a menu wen user clicks it, a color dialog appears they select it

i mean the color is then applied to the ListView back color


how should i go about saving it?


wen the user clicks ok?



and im planning to save it to the registry using the savesetting and getsetting feature


wat do i put for my values



this is wat ive got



SaveSetting(application.productname,"Options","ListColor", clrdlg.color)

i get an error coz color cannot be converted to string

any ideas guys?


thanks
 
Use clrdlg.Color.ToArgb().ToString() or something similar... (don't have the exact method names in front of me).

When reading them back in, use Color.FromArgb(Convert.ToInt32(registry value))

im not sure about the retrieving it back

ill do that on formload


Dim color as string


color = getsetting(app.productnae,..,.., ????)

listview.backcolor = color
