Newlook Color Constants

Color constants are used to specify one of the defined Newlook colors. They can be used in place of actual color values.

Converting color values in scripts and macros

It is possible to specify color values in either the hexadecimal-based &H00BBGGRR format or as a decimal value when setting color-based properties dynamically in a script or macro.

It is important to note though, that macros return colors in the hexadecimal format whereas scripts return colors as a decimal value.

Occasionally you may need to convert from the decimal format to the hexadecimal-based format in order to compare values within a script. To do this you can use the following code in your script:

VB SCRIPT

vHexColor = "&H00" & Hex(App.ActiveForm.BackColor)

JAVASCRIPT

vHexColor = "&H00" + App.ActiveForm.BackColor.toString(16);
