VB Color Constant to HTML color code {RESOLVED}

[andreys]

Does anybody know convert VB ColorCionstant to HTML color code, like

17849940 to #C0C0C0

An HTML color code is, I think, a "#" sign followed by three two-character hexadecimal values for the red, green, and blue, and I think that's the right order.

There are plenty of GetRed/GetGreen/GetBlue functions around, and the Hex$ or Hex function will convert from decimal to hexadecimal.

So: HTMLCode$ = "#" & Str(GetRed(myColor)) & Str(GetGreen(myColor)) & Str(GetBlue(myColor))

Just off the top of my head, hope it works!

Thanks. I used Hex function as you suggested. It works now.

No problem. Post if you have more trouble.

If you want to use the VB Colour constants (like vbInfoBackground and vbButtonFace), then you need to translate those values to actual RGB values first using the OleTranslateColor API call
