ColorEdit RGB

[Andrea vignando]

Hi,

I have this problem: I have a ColorEdit cell in a GridControl (Not a GridGroupingControl).
After a selection of a color, I want to get the RGB of the color but the BackColor property of the ColorEdit cell give R=255,G=255,B=255 with any color selected.
How can I do?
Thanks.

If you set the CellValueType to be typeof(Color), then you can get a Color object as the cell value.

gridControl1[rowIndex, colIndex].CellType = "ColorEdit";
gridControl1[rowIndex, colIndex].CellValue = Color.Aqua;
gridControl1[rowIndex, colIndex].CellValueType = typeof(Color)

//.....

Color c = (Color)this.gridControl1[26,1].CellValue;

Console.WriteLine(c);
Console.WriteLine(c.R);
Console.WriteLine(c.G);
Console.WriteLine(c.B);

I tried but I still have the problem.
In fact I''m developing under VB.Net (ad not C#)
I try with
gridControl1(4, 4).CellValueType = Color
also
gridControl1(4, 4).CellValueType = typeof(color)
also
gridControl1(4, 4).CellValueType = ctype(color)
and so on...
but does''t Work ("Color" is a type and cannot be used as expression...this is the error)

Please, What I have to do?

In VB, the code is:

gridControl1(4, 4).CellValueType = GetType(Color)

Just FYI, there is a C# to VB code coverter on this website that does a pretty good job on coverting snippets from C# to VB.
