Android Question Saving label text colours to an array

[Roger Daley]

Hi All,

I know I should know this one, but the brain cells just don't click.

I have a number of lables lblF0 - lblF15 in which the textcolour changes. At some point I need to preserve the current text colours. I have attempted to do this in a for/next in various ways but all have failed.
Below was the code starting point but this stores a string [eg "lblF1.TextColor"] not the color number.

Dim Fcolours(16) As String
    For FCol = 0 To 15
        Fcolours(FCol) = "lblF"&FCol&".TextColor"
    Next

Regards Roger

Save those values in the label's TAG.

Sorry NJDude,

Can you be more explicit?
Saving the values isn't really the problem, getting them via recursion instead of 16 lines of code to get them one by one is the problem.

You will have to create an array of labels if you want to use a loop, otherwise, you will have to write 16 lines of code.

@NJDude: I was thinking something like this. Can we get your blessing:

Dim arrLabel(16)  As Label
  For i=0 To arrLabel.Length-1
     arrLabel(i).Tag=arrLabel(i).TextColor
  Next

Bless you my son.

If you can now read the colour directly from the Label, do you need to store it somewhere else?

Edit, sorry should have reread the first post.

Steve105,

I should have said in first post the text colour in the label indicates if there is an associated function. In some modes all these functions are disabled and re-enabled in the original mode. Therefore I need to save the text colour when leaving on mode and restore it when returning.

I thought a For/Next loop would be simple, I have gone for the 16 lines of code solution.

Thanks for the reply
Roger
