I'm working on a game in VB.NET and I had an idea that lets you change button colors before launching the game (made a game launcher) but I can't figure out how to do it. The original code I set:
buttons(i, column).ForeColor = Color.Blue
buttons(i, column).BackColor = Color.Blue
I want Color.Blue to be changeable in a ComboBox I put in the gamelauncher form. I've tried it like:
buttons(i, column).ForeColor = Gamelauncher.ComboBox2.Text
buttons(i, column).BackColor = Gamelauncher.ComboBox2.Text
But it wouldn't work!

View 4 RepliesI'm creating a little program to help my students to understand colour-mixing in Hex for their Web Design course. What I've got so far, is as follows: The user is presented with 3 sliders (one each for R, G and B) and a button. The 3 sliders each go from 0 to 15 - and when the user hits the "Show me!" button, Select Case jobbies translate the 0 to 15 values as seen here:

this is what i need to do: In the right-hand label, invert the colors of the image. Hint: the inverting white should give black and inverting black should give white. Inverting red (255,0,0) gives cyan (0,255,255). visual basic express 2008 this is what i have, what do i need to make changes to in order to accomplish this?

I am working on a program to generate 50 circles starting with the smallest in the center of the form. The circles do not over lap and the appear to grow outward. Each circle has to be a random color. I have the code that generates what I need but all the circles are the same color. I was thinking about either using an array to hold each circle and color as to not assign the same color to all of them but not sure about putting a graphic in an array. I also think maybe a nested loop of some sort but was unable to figure one out.
Private Sub mainForm_click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Click
Dim penColor As New Pen(Color.FromArgb(Rnd() * 255, Rnd() * 255, Rnd() * 255, Rnd() * 255), 2)

This works to do what I need to get done, I just need each circle to have a random color as it is drawn.

My question is i want to send the colors filled in the check boxes into the sql server table throug insertsql statement my trial code is as follows but it is wrong
insertsql = "insert into colordetails(model,color)values('" & ComboBox1.Text & "','" & checkarray(a).BackColor & "')"
colordetails in tablename in sql server and model and color are field names in that table?

I am trying to create an array of colors. approach 2 doesn't work and I do not know why
Code:
'approach 1: works
Dim list As Color() = New Color() {Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0), Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 0), Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 255)}
Code:
'approach 2: fails.. why?
Dim list() As Color = New Color() {Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0), Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 0), Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 255)}
If instead I wish to create an array of strings, both approach works, that's weird.

I know how to have alternate row colors with ListView. But how about with ListBox? I've run a search. I read in some web sites where they say you can't. Is that true? Meanwhile, I've done something like:
For i As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1 Step 1
If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
ListBox1. BackColor = Color.FromArgb(150, 250, 255)
Else
ListBox1. BackColor = Color.White
End If
Next i
with ListBox's DrawItem event. And it doesn't work.
