I'm trying to convert a chosen color into hex base 6 to save to a config file for later use, and that part works, but when converting back to integer to use for a color, it gives me an error about incorrect base.
Dim hex_color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(ColorDialog1.Color).ToString("X6")
Dim color_int As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(hex_color, 6)
Panel1.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromOle(color_int)

View 5 Replies[URL] That way if the string that is not recognised that is passed to Color.FromName it returns a SolidColor of

That way, Forms and controls that only support SolidColors are supported.Installing VB6 on Windows 7?
I've been wondering if converting a color image to grayscale will reduce it's size?
And also wondering how to convert the image to grayscale?
In a form I have an ImageList named MainLogoImageList containing a 100x100 pixel 32-bit colordepth image. That is my app logo.
I am too lazy to set up an icon editor and edit an icon of that logo, or convert the image to an .ICO file. (Ergh, well, I am not allowed to install custom utilities.)
To set my forms' icon, I use
Icon = IconFromImage(MainLogoImageList.Images(0))
in the OnLoad event handler to set the window icon.
In my about box, i have a PictureBox with no image. In its OnLoad event, I use
LogoPictureBox.Image = MyMainForm.MainLogoImageList.Images(0)
Icon = IconFromImage(MyMainForm.MainLogoImageList.Images(0))
to set the About box's icon and content.
So far, so good, the icon looks pretty good for a being created from a 100x100 pixel bitmap.
Is there an easy "no utility required" :-) way to get the icon that is returned my IconFromImage saved into an .ICO file so that it will keep the color depth when loaded as the app icon? I want to use exactly the icon that IconFromImage creates.
Saving it using
Dim S As New FileStream("MyAppIcon.ico", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write)
Icon.Save(S)
S.Close()
in the main form's OnLoad event handler and loading that .ICO file as the app icon in VS's project properties dialog yields and icon that is obviously converted to 16 colors, and looks awful.
I currently have a function that saves a control.forecolor to a file.
The file looks like this:

Now, I have another function which retrieves the string "Color [ControlDarkDark]" from the file...But how Can I Apply that color to a control?
How can i use the color dialogue to return the color selected as a string? So if i was to select red i would like the return to be "Red" and so on so fourth.Another thing i would like to ask is if it is possible to return the color selected as a string in hex color code form (like what is used in HTML for example #FFFFFF, #000000 and so on so fourth).I have a feeling though that it can only be returned as R G B integers but maybe there is a way of converting these to hex color codes?

I've got a richtextbox but want to check the keypresses before they come in the textbox. So I thought of using the KeyPress event from the form, checking that key and than writing it to the richtextbox with the Text property.But the KeyChar is a char while the Text property expects a string, and when I convert the KeyChar to a string(ToString) it gives a error.Does anyone know how to fix this or has anyone another idea for checking the presses before writing them?
