[Visual Basic] Public Shared Function FromName( _ ByVal name As String _ ) As Color [C#] public static Color FromName( string name ); [C++] public: static Color FromName( String* name ); [JScript] public static function FromName( name : String ) : Color;
Parameters
- name
- A string that is the name of a pre-defined color. Valid names are the same as the names of the elements of the KnownColor enumeration.
Return Value
The Color structure that this method creates.
Remarks
A pre-defined color is also called a known color and is represented by an element of the KnownColor enumeration. If name is not the valid name of a pre-defined color, the FromName method creates a Color structure that has an ARGB value of zero (that is, all ARGB components are 0).
