Hi All,
I try to change the background color of a section.
if I retrieve the color I get 15385839
this is in rgb r255 g235 b234 color 2 satiation 240
brilliancy 230
if I change the color at runtime I have to know
how to I convert this rgb to the hex code?
is there a calculator available at the net?
TIA

How are you retrieving this? How do you intend to set it?

What version of CR?

A section supports RGB directly:

if {field_name} <5000 then
color(169,0,43)
else
white

That's Crystal syntax, use RGB for Basic.

thanks synapsevampire
I solved the problem with the section.background.color
my new problem is to find the referece out, how to change fontcolor of a fieldobj?

oAreas = oRpt.Areas()
oArea = oAreas.Item("D&quot
oSections = oArea.Sections()
oSelection=oSections.Item("a&quot
oRepObjs = oSelection.ReportObjects()

I tried
oRepObjs.Item("Faktxt1&quot.color
or
oRepObjs.Item("Faktxt1&quot.font.color
or
oRepObjs.Item("Faktxt1&quot.font.backcolor

any idea ?
tia
