[02/03] How to convert Windows system color into its RGB value

[thomasc]

Hello,

This is about VB.NET2003.

I'm trying to obtain the RGB value of a Windows system color and use
it as the background color of my Microsoft Word file. But I have not
been able to find out how I can do so.

THe name of the system color I'm interested in is
"System.Drawing .SystemColors.C ontrol".

Please let me know how I can obtain RGB value of a Windows system
color.


Thanks much in advance!

Take a look at 'Color.ToArgb'. 'SystemColors.C ontrol' is a value of type
'Color'.
