How should i save color settings?

[Winston]

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
