Does anyone know the code for the different colours in kixforms. I know &005500 is Dark Green and &00ffff is Yellow but no others.

Thanx

The codes follow the BGR convention, 0-255 for RED, 0-255 for BLUE, 0-255 for GREEN, thus
FFFFFF = WHITE, FF0000 for BLUE, 00FF00 for GREEN, 0000FF for RED. A list of standard colors is available here: http://www.keller.com/html-quickref/4a.html. You just need to translate them from RGB to BGR.

Yes there is actually, but be aware that kixforms uses the BBGGRR schema (and not RRGGBB)

As well you can use some (255 ?) color names like
$form.BackColor = "Blue" (additionally some easter egg ones like 'kixtart' [Wink] )

For reference consult either the CHM file on kixforms.org or maybe Shawn's Kixtart PiXasso Painter to be found here

... therefore &FF0000 is not Red but Blue [Wink]

Jens,

still &00FF00 is green [Big Grin]

{edit}
Now I got also confused [Roll Eyes]
Rule of thumb: Swap the first Byte with the last and leave the 'middle' one unchanged

I still to this day kick my own ass for using the BBGGRR format. I left it like that because native Windows and Visual Basic uses that. Dotnet and HTML use RRGGBB ... there's a whole whack of ways to specify a color in Kixforms, eg:

code:
$Form.BackColor = 256      ; decimal
$Form.BackColor = &00FF00  ; hex BBGGRR
$Form.BackColor = 0,255,0  ; RGB array
$Form.BackColor = $Form.RGB(0,255,0) ; RGB Funcion
$Form.BackColor = "ColorName"
The preferred method is to use the RGB Array syntax or the ColorName if you know what it is. In Jen's link, all those color names outlined can be plugged into Kixforms directly, eg:

code:
$Form.BackColor = "MintCream"

Jochen, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the KiXforms CHM is available for download from www.kixforms.org yet.

Oh yeah ... forgot to mention Billy, If you ever come to the point where you have to translate colors from BBGGRR to RRGGBB and vice versa this is already coded within PostPrep (see btnConvert_Click() and especially Color_Change($i,$l) )

If a bit advertising on own bill is allowed [Roll Eyes]

Dear,

Sometimes it can be hard to find those HTML colorsettings back. On the
internet we find the tool ColorSpy.

Description:
quote:

ColorSPY is a 32 bit Windows application for obtaining color codes anywhere
on your screen under the current mouse position. See a color you like, want
to know the color code needed to reproduce it. Be it HTML, RGB, Delphi,
Visual C++ or Visual Basic, ColorSPY knows and shows them all. Just point
your mouse at it and there's your code. Want to know if this color is browser
safe, ColorSPY can help you with this too! Recent enhancements include Color
Palette Picker and color Eye Dropper for picking up colors and copying the
appropriate color code to the Windows clipboard for pasting into your IDE or
editor.


Just click ColorSpy to download this program (size +/- 300 KB).

For Kixforms you need to convert these hexadecimal values.
greetings.
