Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.8.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function GetColorType ( _
    crSource As UInteger, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef pctType As Integer _
) As Integer

int GetColorType(
    uint crSource,
    out int pctType
)

int GetColorType(
    [InAttribute] unsigned int crSource, 
    [OutAttribute] int% pctType
)

abstract GetColorType : 
        crSource:uint32 * 
        pctType:int byref -> int 

function GetColorType(
    crSource : uint, 
    pctType : int
) : int

Parameters

• crSource
  Type: System.UInt32
  [in] A COLORREF representation of color value.

• pctType
  Type: System.Int32%
  [out] An integer representing the color type of crSource.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

The value of pctType will be a member of the __VSCOLORTYPE enumeration.

Managed code can obtain functionality equivalent to GetSysColor with SystemColors and convert between COLORREF and the System.Drawing.Color structure using M:System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromWin32 and M:System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToWin32.

.NET Framework Security

• Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code.
