Examples

The following example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code translates a Color structure to an integer that represents a Windows color, and then shows a message box with the resulting string.

public:
   void ToWin32_Example( PaintEventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      // Create an instance of a Color structure.
      Color myColor = Color::Red;

      // Translate myColor to an OLE color.
      int winColor = ColorTranslator::ToWin32( myColor );

      // Show a message box with the value of winColor.
      MessageBox::Show( winColor.ToString() );
   }

public void ToWin32_Example(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Create an instance of a Color structure.
    Color myColor = Color.Red;
             
    // Translate myColor to an OLE color.
    int winColor = ColorTranslator.ToWin32(myColor);
             
    // Show a message box with the value of winColor.
    MessageBox.Show(winColor.ToString());
}

Public Sub ToWin32_Example(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create an instance of a Color structure.
    Dim myColor As Color = Color.Red

    ' Translate myColor to an OLE color.
    Dim winColor As Integer = ColorTranslator.ToWin32(myColor)

    ' Show a message box with the value of winColor.
    MessageBox.Show(winColor)
End Sub
