Hello,
I hope you don't mind if I come into your discussion. Does anyone know what
is the RGB value for the command button? It's kind of grey, but I cannot find
the values, so that I could apply it as background of graphics I build.

Thanks,
Rocco

The color code is a "packed" long integer: the RGB code is the Red
value + 255 * the Green value + 65536 * the Blue value. Essentially,
it's three 8-bit numbers packed into a 24 bit value.

Thank you Allen,
can I ask you another question?
How can I use the values you listed in RGB?
I mean RGb is usually made by thre numbers (i.e. red is RGB(255,0,0)).
How can I tralslate your liste into RGB?

Thanks anyway.

As posted in your other thread these "system colors" don't always produce the
same actual colors. It depends on the coloring scheme that the user sets up.
All you can do is match the default one (which will likely work on most
systems), but anyone using a different theme or color scheme will end upi with
the buttons not matching the form background.

The code's Allen's given you are "special" ones. They don't correspond to an
RGB value: they correspond to an official "System" colour (set through the
Appearance tab under Screen Properties)

In general, though, the colour values Access uses actually are RGB, except
they're in a reverse order. If you convert the Access colour code to a 6
character Hex string (using Right$("000000" & Hex(AccessColour), 6)), the
left most two characters will be the Blue value, the middle two the Green
value, and the right most two the Red value:

Function Red(ColourValue As Long) As Long
Dim strHexColour As String

strHexColour = Right$("000000" & Hex(ColourValue), 6)
Red = CLng("&H" & Right$(strHexColour, 2))
End Function


Function Green(ColourValue As Long) As Long
Dim strHexColour As String


strHexColour = Right$("000000" & Hex(ColourValue), 6)
Green = CLng("&H" & Mid$(strHexColour, 3, 2))


End Function


Function Blue(ColourValue As Long) As Long
Dim strHexColour As String


strHexColour = Right$("000000" & Hex(ColourValue), 6)
Blue = CLng("&H" & Left$(strHexColour, 2))


End Function

Default Where can I find all the "color codes"?

Hi Sam, would you have Mr. Greenbergs RGB tool? I can't seem to find him.
Thank you.

Thanks Steven. Your RGB is indeed very handy. it means I can now just use
that to quickly find out the RGB values of whatever color I want even when I
am not in Access, rather than having to indirectly go to the buil-in palette
everytime.

However, It seems Access defines the color constant differently? For
example, color constant for Grey would be 8421504, but its RGB is 128, 128,
128.

Therefore, I also found out another way of manually finding out the color
constants for Access. If I just go to the color property of whatever control
I want to use, and
click on the button on the right, which would then open up the palette. Then
I can just pick whatever color I want and click OK. The equivalent color
constant would then be shown in the color property box

Regards,
Sam

Hi,

I am trying to change Back Color of some rectangles, but I don't know
what "code" is for which color (except black=0 and red=225) in Visual
Basic. Can anyone please help?

I'm actually after dark grey and light grey, but it'd be nice to know
a list of color codes for all colors in the palette. Many thanks

Regards,
Sam



Hi,

I got fed up with trying to calculate the color codes also, so I created
this application (via VB) called RGB which lets me play with all values of
Red, Green and Blue via sliders and shows the result along with the
decimal, hex and full decimal number. Feel free to download it and try it
out. It can be found at:

http://shgreenberg.home.comcast.net/otherpgms.htm

Anyone else feel free to try it out. it has certainly helped me many times
before. There is no help but it is self explanatory, plus there are many
other convenient things it can do. email me with any questions or
suggestions.

Steve Greenberg
