RGB Function

See AlsoB65IPK              Example103KYN2>Low

Returns a long integer representing an RGB color value.

Syntax

RGB (red, green, blue)

Remarks

The RGB function has these parts:

Part               Description

red                Integer in the range of 0 to 255, inclusive, that represents the red component of the color.

green             Integer in the range of 0 to 255, inclusive, that represents the green component of the color.

blue               Integer in the range of 0 to 255, inclusive, that represents the blue component of the color.

Visual Basic methods and properties that accept a color specification expect that specification to be a long integer representing an RGB color value. An RGB color value specifies the relative intensity of red, green, and blue, which taken together cause a specific color to be displayed.

If the value for any argument to RGB exceeds 255, it is assumed to be 255.

The following table shows the hexadecimal representation for some standard colors, their corresponding RGB values, and the red, green and blue components for each:

   Dim I                                 ' Declare variable.

   Cls                                   ' Clear form

   ScaleHeight = 128                     ' Divide form into 128 parts.

   For I = 0 To 126 Step 2               ' Draw a colored box.

      Line (0, I)-(ScaleWidth, I + 2), RGB(I, 64 + I, 128 + I),BF

   Next I

End Sub
