B4J Question How do I convert a Paint object to a Color string

[GuyBooth]

Properties I have are being returned from a CustomView as a Paint object.


I want to be able to use the values in a CSS statement to set the text color like this:

#DesignerProperty: Key: ActionHighlightColor, DisplayName: Action Highlight Color, FieldType: Color, DefaultValue: 0xFFFC1010

Sub Class_Globals
    Dim et as TextField
End Sub

' In Some other sub
Sub Someothersub
    AHLColor = Props.Get("ActionHighlightColor")
    CSSUtils.SetStyleProperty(et,"-fx-text-fill", AHLColor)
End Sub

As written this produces an error because the CSSUtils is looking for a string.
How to I set the text color using the paint object?
Or how do I convert the paint object to a string I can use in the CSSUtils method above?

You need to
a, lose the alpha part of the colour (and with 0xffffff)
b, make it a hex string

 CSSUtils.SetStyleProperty(et,"-fx-text-fill", Bit.ToHexString(Bit.And(AHLColor,0xffffff)))

mmm - this gives me this error when I try to save it:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "(Color) 0xb22222ff"

and the same error when I use it in the CSSUtils statement in your post.

Sorry I assumed that the color was an integer value as your default value is an integer.

Instead of:
AHLColor = Props.Get("ActionHighlightColor")
try this:
AHLColor = xui.PaintOrColorToColorProps.Get("ActionHighlightColor"))

 CSSUtils.SetStyleProperty(et,"-fx-text-fill", CSSUtils.ColorToHex(AHLColor))
