Storing color information?

[N1c0_ds]

Is there a way to store a color as a variable? I want to save color information in a text file and then set it to a control at launch.

Any idea on how I could do that?

No problem:

For example:
Col=Button1.Color

in the Save routine
FileWrite(c1,Col)

in the Load routine
Col=FileRead(c1)

Panel1.Color=Col

Best regards.

Getting the color coordinates

Is there a way to get by code the color coordinates (R,G,B) of a color which is defined as a single (color) variable ?

for example - how do you know the RGB of cYellow ?

thanks

Sub Globals
      Dim Type (R,G,B) clr
End Sub


Sub App_Start
      Form1.Show
      clr() = GetRGB(Form1.Color)
      Msgbox("Red=" & clr.R & " Green=" & clr.G & " Blue=" & clr.B)
End Sub
