   void FromWin32_Example( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create an integer representation of a Windows color.
      int winColor = 0xA000;

      // Translate winColor to a GDI+ Color structure.
      Color myColor = ColorTranslator::FromWin32( winColor );

      // Fill a rectangle with myColor.
      e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( myColor ), 0, 0, 100, 100 );
   }
