Example Code
Overview
----------
While using GMap.net I was required to supply a .NET color reference to change the color of a routing feature. However, I could not easily find a How-to tip on how to do this via on-line resources.
Description
------------
After some research on .net classes I found a way to accomplish this, and here I show how to provide
such a color reference from inside a LabVIEW VI.
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
-------------------------------------
- Create a .NET constructor and initialize the Windows: "System.Drawing.Color" Object reference.
- Drop a LabVIEW color picker and branch that into RGB color components.
- From the .net color reference, choose the METHOD: "From Argb" and wire-into this METHOD node
the three color components from your LabVIEW color box.
The following block diagram image shows how you can achieve this:
In the above block diagram: Both RED, and LVColor are valid .NET color reference terminals.
Requirements
-----------------
o Any version of LabVIEW Software that supports Windows .NET
o NOTE: The attached VI is in LabVIEW Ver 14.00
