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 an OLE color value to a Color structure, and then uses that color to fill a rectangle.

public:
   void FromOle_Example( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create an integer representation of an OLE color.
      int oleColor = 0xFF00;

      // Translate oleColor to a GDI+ Color structure.
      Color myColor = ColorTranslator::FromOle( oleColor );

      // Fill a rectangle with myColor.
      e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( myColor ), 0, 0, 100, 100 );
   }

public void FromOle_Example(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Create an integer representation of an OLE color.
    int oleColor = 0xFF00;
             
    // Translate oleColor to a GDI+ Color structure.
    Color myColor = ColorTranslator.FromOle(oleColor);
             
    // Fill a rectangle with myColor.
    e.Graphics.FillRectangle( new SolidBrush(myColor), 0, 0, 
        100, 100);
}

Public Sub FromOle_Example(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create an integer representation of an HTML color.
    Dim oleColor As Integer = &HFF00

    ' Translate oleColor to a GDI+ Color structure.
    Dim myColor As Color = ColorTranslator.FromOle(oleColor)

    ' Fill a rectangle with myColor.
    e.Graphics.FillRectangle(New SolidBrush(myColor), 0, 0, 100, 100)
End Sub
