Hello,

I can't seem to change the text color of one of my items in TaskPanel.

I am using VS.NET 2005

Item = Group.Items.Add(0, "TEXT 1", XTPTaskPanelItemType.xtpTaskItemTypeLink, -1);

Color C = Color.Red;
Item.TextColor = (uint)(C.ToArgb());

What am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I feel like I am doing something stupid.

Thanks

Hi,

Think its bit-order-problem. try

Color C = Color.Green;
Item.TextColor = (uint)(C.ToArgb());

So how would I add and item and then change the text color. I don't see a difference between yours and mine except for the color.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I mean don't use ToArgb use some hex value:

Item.TextColor = (uint)(0xff00ff);

Thanks Oleg,

I am able to change colors, but if I use the hex value for blue, the color that shows up is not blue. Why is this

Blue = 0x0000FF
So I use Item.TextColor = (uint)(0x0000FF);

What am I doing wrong.

I am using this page to pick my colors:

Thanks

Oleg I figured it out.

I wanted Blue which was 0x0000FF

I thought that it was in the FORMAT R,G,B.

It is actually B,G,R.

So when I put 0xFF0000 I get blue!

Do I normally need to put colors in this way?

Thanks
