Get a colour from a listview and apply to a panel

[o0spyder0o]

I can get a selected listview's item ok and assign the chosen item to a label like this:
label1.text = value
in the listview_itemclick event.

If the chosen item is 'Red' then the label's text will change to Red. All good.

However how can I change a panel's colour to red using the same method?
I see the panel uses panel1.color = colors.somecolor as the way to assign a color so how can I assign the selected item to this?
Cheers

What is the content of the ListView.
Or when you select an item what is in value, how do know that its Red?

Best regards.

Hi Klaus

The listview contains colours, ie
listview.addsingleline("red")
and so on for yellow, blue etc.
I am able to use: Label1.text = value and that returns whatever color I have selected in the listview, which works fine.
I thought if the label is able to show a selected item as being 'red' then the panel color should be able to grab 'red' as the colors.(x) too but I'm unable to find a solution.
Something like Panel1.color = colors(value) would be what I'm seeking.

Cheers

When you assign Label1.text = value you are assigning a text "red" and not a color code. In your Label it's written "red" but the text color is not changed.
You could use a code similar to this one:

Sub ListView1_ItemClick((Position, Value)
.
.
 Select Value
 Case "red"
    Panel1.Color = Colors.Red 
 Case "yellow"
    Panel1.Color = Colors.Yellow
 Case "xxx"
    Panel1.Color = Colors.XXX
 End Select
End Sub

Another solution could be to define an Array of integer holding the color values.

Dim PanelColors(10) as Int
PanelColors(0) = Colors.Red
PanelColors(1) = Colors.Yellow
PanelColors(2) = Colors.XXX

And

Sub ListView1_ItemClick((Position, Value)
.
.
  Panel1.Color = PanelColors(Position)
End Sub

Best regards.

Thanks Klaus
I know it wasn't applying the text colour, I just wanted to see that the selected item was returning a value. I hoped that if the label was getting the string 'red' then I could apply that to the colors.x somehow.
However the array you posted works for me and will suit my purpose.
Many thanks.
