ResourceStorageBase.ColorSaving Property

Gets or sets a type of format to store the color information.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraScheduler

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v19.1.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(ColorSavingType.OleColor)]
public ColorSavingType ColorSaving { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(ColorSavingType.OleColor)>
Public Property ColorSaving As ColorSavingType

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
ColorSavingType	**OleColor**	A ColorSavingType enumeration value, indicating the type in which the color is stored.

Available values:

Name	Description
OleColor	Stores the color setting in OLE_COLOR format.
ArgbColor	Stores the color setting in ARGB format.
Color	Stores the color setting as a system defined color Color.

Remarks

If the color has ARGB format, that is: 8 bit for Alpha-Transparency, 8 bit Red, 8 bit Green, 8 bit Blue, then you should set the ColorSaving value to ColorSavingType.ArgbColor. The FromArgb method is used to create a Color structure from a 32-bit ARGB value.

The color can be specified in OLE_COLOR format, that is one most significant reserved byte, then, depending on the value of this byte, either byte for Blue, byte for Green, byte for Red (if reserved byte is zero) or the system color index, or an offset into a custom pallette. The ColorSavingType.OleColor value means that for the translation of a supplied OLE color value to a GDI+ System.Drawing.Color structure the FromOle method is used.

Note that the ColorSavingType.Color value stores a color as the .NET Color object, which is not a regular data field type and may require a converter.
