   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!  |

    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: http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm 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  |
