   The Help system doesn't provide any examples, and the various tutorials are limited. I need to understand how to use the Syntax provided in the Help. If I understood one, perhaps I can figure out the others. 

For example: The "SetColor" method - The syntax is ...

Public Sub SetColor( _
   ByVal Index As XTPColorManagerColor, _
   ByVal Color As ULong _
) 

I'm confused by this. I tried just calling it, but that did nothing (I don't know why it would). Do I put code within the sub and, if so, what?

1. Can you provide a real world example of how I would use this.

2. What the heck is "ULong"? VB choked on that when I tried it. Is it a typo, and should maybe just be "Long"?

	Why then is it listed and discussed in Skin Framework (under Methods, as well as the ColorManager Object and Methods)? And what relevance does the syntax example have (as noted above)?
