Hi All,

I have a list of colors such as :

"clOrange = $FFFFA500"

Each color is an item in a string list.

How can I use either the clOrange part or the $FFFFA500 part to get a TColor value that I can use in my app?

Thanks,
Paul

Looking at my code, the key is the Javascript parseint which is used by StrToInt, which takes 0x as a hex prefix. So replace the $ with 0x and it should work for you.
It may be you have to rearrange the order of the RGB bytes after that.

Thanks Matthew,

Worked perfectly. I didn't need to play with the RGB bytes. For anyone interested:

var
   myColor : TColor;
   myStrCol : string;
begin
   myStrCol := '0xFFFFA500';
   myColor := TColor(StrToInt(myStrCol));
