Hex color

[nareth]

i noticed D3DX8 uses hex colors in this format: &HXXRRGGBB
how do i make a function that can create that format with XX in % and RR GG BB in 255

Well, for starters, you could tell us what the input to the functino might be...

Where did you see that....you can usualy use the RGB() function to convert colors to a long in DX.

not in D3DX8 because it uses transperancie i tried using rgb but that failed drawing text so i need a function like

XRGB(ByVal X As Long, ByVal R As Long, ByVal G As Long, ByVal B As Long)
'X Should be a ratio of 1 and generate hex from 00 to FF 
'R/G/B Should be 0-255 and generate hex from 00 to FF

so you have a RGB value and you want to convert it to a hex number

XRGB(ByVal X As Long, ByVal R As Long, ByVal G As Long, ByVal B As Long)

myhex = "&H" & Hex(r) & Hex(g) & Hex(b)

just add x to that if want

thanks!

Public Function XRGB(X As Long, R As Long, G As Long, B As Long) As Long
    Let XRGB = CLng("&H" & Hex(X) & Hex(R) & Hex(G) & Hex(B))
End Function
