Converts an OLE Color String into an RGB color value
Syntax
rv = Send_Message(Ctrl, "OLE.StringToColor", ColorString)
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| ColorString | The string representation of a color to convert |
Returns
RGB Color Value
Remarks
SRP OLE Controls support an advanced color system whereby you can use system colors and color modifiers to achieve a more sophisticated look and feel. This method gives you that functionality on a more generic level.
Simply pass the color string to the method and it will return the RGB color value.
For more information regarding the formatting of color strings, see the Color topic.
Example
// Get the RGB value for the system select color at 90% luminance
RGB_Color = Send_Message(@Window:".OLE_SUBCLASS", "OLE.StringToColor", "Select L=90")
// Get the RGB value for the system control color
RGB_Color = Send_Message(@Window:".OLE_SUBCLASS", "OLE.StringToColor", "3DFace")
// Get the RGB value of an HSL color
RGB_Color = Send_Message(@Window:".OLE_SUBCLASS", "OLE.StringToColor", "HSL{127, 127, 127}")
