[RESOLVED] To list / sort colours with GetBrightness()

[Ferrentino]

With the following codes i added all colours to a combobox (sorted by brightness). It begins automaticaly with the darkest colour and goes to brightest. Is there any way to do it conversely? I mean, it should begin with brightest colour and go to darkest? Thanks in advance


Private Sub bindWebColorsBrightness()

cmbColorsBrightness.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed
cmbColorsBrightness.ItemHeight = 20

Dim ColorName As String
For Each ColorName In System.Enum.GetNames(GetType(System.Drawing.KnownColor)).OrderBy(Function(kc) Color.FromName(kc).GetBrightness)

Dim Syscolor As Color = Color.FromName(ColorName)
If Not Syscolor.IsSystemColor Then
cmbColorsBrightness.Items.Add(Color.FromName(ColorName))
End If
Next
End Sub

Among other ways, you could reverse the collection iterated by the For-Next loop:

For Each ColorName In _
System.Enum.GetNames(GetType(System.Drawing.KnownColor)).OrderBy(Function(kc) Color.FromName(kc).GetBrightness).Reverse
