Hi,

I have one problem with color in windows forms application.

Where is the problem?

When I convert color to int with ColorTranslator.ToWin32 everything is ok.

But now I would like to convert back from ColorTranslator.FromWin32().

But here is the problem beacuse ColorTranslator.FromWin32() accepts parameter int, not Int64.

ColorTranslator.ToWin32(Color.Orange); //Orange has int --> 4227327

So How can get the number 4227327 is Orange, with which methods?

thanks

What I have tried:

ColorTranslator.ToWin32(Color.Orange); //Orange has int --> 4227327

So How can I get the number 4227327 is Orange, with which methods?

OK, so where are you getting a 64-bit color value from?

Hi teddddddddddd,

Your problem is not fully clear. Also Orange is not 4227327 as you mentioned; I get 42495.

C#

int Col = ColorTranslator.ToWin32(Color.Orange); //Orange has int --> 42495, not 4227327

FromWin32 accepts int, not Int64 - this is right. But you are not passing any Int64 to it, are you? You can simply retrieve back the orange color like below.

C#

Color Col2 = ColorTranslator.FromWin32(Col);

Or

C#

Color Col2 = ColorTranslator.FromWin32(42495);
