Syntax

'Declaration
Function GetRGBOfEncodedColor ( _
    crSource As UInteger, _
    crAutoColor As UInteger, _
    ByRef rguidCategory As Guid, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef pcrResult As UInteger _
) As Integer

int GetRGBOfEncodedColor(
    uint crSource,
    uint crAutoColor,
    ref Guid rguidCategory,
    out uint pcrResult
)

int GetRGBOfEncodedColor(
    [InAttribute] unsigned int crSource, 
    [InAttribute] unsigned int crAutoColor, 
    [InAttribute] Guid% rguidCategory, 
    [OutAttribute] unsigned int% pcrResult
)

abstract GetRGBOfEncodedColor : 
        crSource:uint32 * 
        crAutoColor:uint32 * 
        rguidCategory:Guid byref * 
        pcrResult:uint32 byref -> int 

function GetRGBOfEncodedColor(
    crSource : uint, 
    crAutoColor : uint, 
    rguidCategory : Guid, 
    pcrResult : uint
) : int

Parameters

• crSource
  Type: System.UInt32
  [in] A COLORREF representation of color value.

• crAutoColor
  Type: System.UInt32
  [in] A COLORREF representation of color value.

• rguidCategory
  Type: System.Guid%
  [in] The GUID identifying the Category whose color values are to be obtained.

• pcrResult
  Type: System.UInt32%
  [out] A COLORREF representation of color value containing the returned RGB value.

Return Value

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

Remarks

The COLORREF crSource used as input must be one of the following types as returned by GetColorType:

• CT_COLORINDEX

• CT_SYSCOLOR

• CT_VSCOLOR

• CT_AUTOMATIC

If crSource is not of type CT_AUTOMATIC, crAutoColor is ignored.

If crSource is of type CT_AUTOMATIC, the RGB value contained in crAutoColor is returned. The actual value of crSourcer is ignored.

The COLORREF returned in pcrResult has the hexadecimal format of: 0x00bbggrr

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.
