Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function EncodeVSColor ( _
    vsColor As Integer, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef pcrResult As UInteger _
) As Integer
int EncodeVSColor(
    int vsColor,
    out uint pcrResult
)
int EncodeVSColor(
    [InAttribute] int vsColor, 
    [OutAttribute] unsigned int% pcrResult
)
abstract EncodeVSColor : 
        vsColor:int * 
        pcrResult:uint32 byref -> int 
function EncodeVSColor(
    vsColor : int, 
    pcrResult : uint
) : int

Parameters

  • pcrResult
    Type: System.UInt32%
    [out] A COLORREF representation of the color of the system component specified by the vsColor parameter.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

The RGB value returned in pcrResult has the following hexadecimal format 0x00bbggrr.

The value of pcrResult returns the current color value of the component indicated by the __VSSYSCOLOREX enumeration passed by the argument vsColor.

The COLORREF will have a type of CT_VSCOLOR as returned by GetColorType.

Managed code can obtain functionality equivalent to GetSysColor with SystemColors and convert between COLORREF and the System.Drawing.Color structure using M:System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromWin32 and M:System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToWin32.
