PreDefined Colors vs. New Color

[IDEAL Software Support]

Version 3.50 Professional

I have a list of predefined colors such as this example below:

&GLOB COLOR_LTLTBLUE 16752640

Is there a way to create my own color
i.e.
&GLOB COLOR_NEWCOLOR ??????

Or did I read that this predefined set is all I have access too?

How would I convert RGB(128,255,255) to a single digit number?

Thanks,

Of course you can use any RGB color.

I don't have this in mind, but you can look it up in the internet or in the Microsoft documentation.

RGB color = RED + (GREEN * 256) + (BLUE * 256 * 256)

Thank you Stephane That worked great!

For a light grey background color RGB(230,230,230), I used:

#vpe.BkgColor = 230 + (230 * 256) + (230 * 256 * 256)
