how to get the Red, Green and Blue values from a specific colour. I have a Label, and the user can set the backcolor property. I would like to extract the Red, Green and Blue values from the users chosen colour.
View 3 RepliesWhy is it that in parts of the .Net architecture that ARGB colours are expected be as type Integer when ARGB is outside the range of Integer? (ARGB requires 32 bits of precission, but Int has 31 bits of precission).Now of course I could just do a conversion, but what freaking conversion to use??? (I'm not affluent with all the VB global methods and the sort)
I've tried things like:
Code:
Dim value As Integer = &H80000014
Dim uvalue As UInteger = CType(value, value)
''overflow others include Convert.ToUInt32 -> value was either to large or to small and a few others all offering up nonsense about overflows, when all I freakin' want is a colour that Microsoft's own engineers have done stupid things like expect Integer values in places where UInteger should be, or vice versa. How about some consistency...
Code:
Dim value As UInteger = &H80000014 ''<- not represntable as a Uinteger???
Dim uvalue As UInteger = 2147483668 ''<- same value in decimal, same exact value! and it works this says it's not representable as a UInteger?
Is there any way to change the colour (background colour or text colour) of just a certain item or item(s)?
View 2 RepliesTo .NET after getting tired of using VB6 due to the lack of functionality. I'm trying to create a log on method for a system which will involve users selecting a colour from a paint panel and then placing/drawing the colour in 1 or more tiles of a grid, basically a 3x3 grid in which for example they selected the blue colour and drew in the top left tile and the bottom left tile. The logon is selecting the correct colour and placing the colour in the appropriate tile. What i want them to be able to do is place even a single pixel of colour so it has a high accuracy. So far i have a timer which loops from the width of the grid to the height of the grid.

To start with i have just hard coded the colour i want it to detect. At present it produces an error. Parameter must be positive and < Width the error is on System.Drawing.Point(i,j). If i place the mouse over the colour then run the program it will say it has been found, but otherwise it wont find the colour. I believe i am not updating the location of the pixel or something to that effect.
I've got a combobox which loads the system colour list, the selected colour is stored in the registry (i've tried storing the index number value aswell as the colour name - how can i get the combobox to display the stored colour as the default colour when the form loads?

View 1 RepliesI'd like to replace all the white pixels in a bitmap image with pixels of the colour "Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.MenuHighlight)". Is there some method in the Image, Bitmap or Graphics classes I can use, or will I simply have to inspect each pixel in the image with GetPixel, check whether it is a white pixel, and then set it with SetPixel?Here is the code I am using now:
Private Shared Sub highlight(ByVal b As Bitmap)

I have created a program that Draw a circle and then you can move it around a picturebox. I have made code so that it changes colour but instead of changing the colour of the circle already been drawn it creates a new circle which when you overlap the original circle with the new circle it cuts part of it.So what I wanted it to do when I change the colour of the circle it changes the colour of the circle already been drawn instead of creating a new circle.

Also I can't use the X and Y coordinate input to move the circle to the entered coordinates.

I am making a html editor in visual basic 2010 for Uni and i am coming across some problems.
I'm using the richTextBox because it is more editable for what i am doing. The first of my questions is: How can I change the colour of text.
What I have done so far is add a timer that will constantly check to see if the user has entered... lets say "<div>" then i want that text to change to a different colour... say red.
My second question is: Obviously in web dev when you write the <div> tag you have other content inside it like: <div id=""/> so how can i make the entire string between the < and the > or the <div> </div> become the same colour.
I need to convert a VB.NET colour to a hex code.Here is my code thus far:
TextBox1.Text = ColorTranslator.ToHtml(Button1.BackColor)
The back color of button 1 is red. However when I use this code the textbox types "red" instead of "#ff0000". Is this because when typing HTML, most normal people would type:
<font color="red">
<!--- Instead of typing --->
<font color="#ff0000">
I have written a program to return the colour of a pixel from an image. The problem I have is I need to return the colour name. Of course not all colours returned will be one of the pre-defined colours (knowncolours), so my question is, is there a way to find the nearest knowncolour which matches the colour of the pixel?
I have looked at GetNearestColour but am confused by its function. It just seems to return the same colour as the parameter passed into it.
I currently have a listview on a forum. The user will select an item and press a button, presenting a second form with data based on their selection. In the event that the user wishes to return from the second form back to the first, the selected item in the list view should still be selected.
I have set the hideselection property to false, but have found that the selected item will be a light gray as opposed to the normal blue. Can anyone please tell me how to change the colour so it will always be blue?
