How to change color in snippets

Question

Can you please explain how to change a color linked to a proxy variable? This does not work:

BackgroundColor=Color.FromArgb(25,0,0);

 

Answer 1

There is a type mismatch in your example. BackgroundColor proxy is the built-in stColor type, whereas Color.FromArgb() is a GDI+ function that returns the system System.Drawing.Color type. To match types, simply use a special field of stColor type:

BackgroundColor.GDIColor=Color.FromArgb(25,0,0);

Alternately, the color value can be changed with an optional stColor constructor:

BackgroundColor=new stColor(25,0,0);

There is a dedicated page in our wiki showing more examples of dealing with stColor type:
