VB color value

[Leginus]

I have searched the forums but cannot seem to find an answer.
Is it possible to convert the long color values from vb into rgb??

e.g. txtTestBox.BackColor = 16777215

I found a solution on google but it was using the Hex keyword and I don't think that is supported yet.

thanks

It is supported. See Bitwise library

See this thread RGB separation if you don't want to use a separate library.

You could use the GetRGB method.

Thanks all, I have also noticed that I don't actually need to convert it either. I can use the same value and it works, although RGB is preferable personally.
