Convert Color

[SIMIN]

Hello,

Colors are different in VB.NET and VB6.

For example, the background of my form in my VB.NET program is "194, 217, 247" but I cannot use this format for my VB6 application.

So how can I convert "194, 217, 247" to a format which VB6 accepts?

Thanks.

IN .NET your 194, 217, 247 = R, G, B

 

' thus
' R = 194
' G = 217
' B = 247

'Visual Basic stores this as a Long (integer)
' this calculation should work
Color = (256 * 256 * B)   + G * 256 + R 

'or the bult-in VB function RGB can calculate the Long value for you 
Color = RGB (R,G,B)

Color.ToARGB() should return a 32-bit integer composite value that would be the VB6 equivalent, although the alpha component may have to be filtered out. Edited September 25, 2008 by snarfblam
