VB color code for this hexadecimal color

**Ultimasnake** · Sep 22nd, 2002, 01:08 PM

i have a bright pink color with the hex code FF00FF when i convert it to decimals for use with my transparancy it doesnt pick it up anymore and doesnt make it transparant
i am using DIRECT DRAW with ofcourse the setcolorkey etc etc , it does work with things like VB WHIT and VB BLACK...

i get this color :s 16711935 but it only works in 32 bit mode :s and not very good either :S

Look at the DX4VB tuts.. they have things that will work for 16-bit colour mode. 24-bit and 32-bit use the RGB function.

i also did that with rgb(256,0,256) not working either :S

I replied in your other post (or somebody else's post...), a bit of theory. What happens is if any of it is off the screen, ALL of it is off the screen. Therefore you must limit your draw rect to the screen. You can do this by cutting off the part that is off the screen (which will also increase performance, in some cases).

well it wasnt my post you repleid to , anyway from what you are telling me i dont have a clue ,i found some examples but cant seem to figure out how they work , mind helping me a bit? you can (if you want) fix it into my WORLD module , it is the level itself that is moving , if you would do that i might be able to understand it :S.... i am new to direct draw (started thursday) and am really stuck on this , the rest is rather easy though

the hex code? you can get it with most of the programs like photoshop when you draw a picture

... also the last 6 numbers of a color in vb is the hex code :&H00FFFFFF& so that is FFFFFF and is white
