Returns an INTEGER value that represents a combination of a red, green, and blue color value. This function allows you to define an arbitrary color, expanding beyond those colors defined in the color table.

Note: Does not apply to SpeedScript programming.

Syntax

RGB-VALUE ( redval , greenval , blueval )
redval, greenval, blueval
Identifies red, green, and blue color values which can be combined to define a unique color value.

Example

The following code fragment shows how to set the background color of an ActiveX control: 

DEFINE VARIABLE hdlControl AS COM-HANDLE NO-UNDO.

/* Complete code to get a handle to a control in a control-frame.*/
. . .
hdlControl:BackColor = RGB(128, 0, 256).

Notes

The RGB-VALUE function is generally most useful when it is used with ActiveX Controls.
