Invert Colors

[Oubez]

hi guys,

I need to invert colors of a text box and its text that's background color of text area becomes the color of the characters and vice versa.

I tryed this but it didn't work

TextBox.BackCol or = TextBox.ForeCol or
TextBox.ForeCol or = TextBox.BackCol or

they both had the same color :S

Hi,

With your Code, ForeColor is already Changed To BackColor, So both becomes same..

Use a Temp Variable

[code=vb]

Dim TStr As String
TStr = TextBox.BackCol or
TextBox.BackCol or = TextBox.ForeCol or
TextBox.ForeCol or = TStr
[/code]

hey,

when I tryed that it gave an error:

Value of type 'System.Drawing .Color' cannot be converted to 'String'

Hi,

It is a TypeCasting error. VB6 is a Winner in handling such cases. It automatically Type casts variable to appropriate type..without generating any such error..
Any way with VB.net, you have to declare properly, Or use Variants:

[code=vbnet]
Dim tstr
tstr = TextBox1.BackCo lor
TextBox1.BackCo lor = TextBox1.ForeCo lor
TextBox1.ForeCo lor = tstr
[/code]
