Checking control forecolor (Comparison operator)

[mza1979m]

In VB.NET, what is the syntax for checking the forecolor of a certain control? For instance, I want to check if the forecolor of my GroupBox control is Red, and if so, perform a certain action. I tried the following, but no luck:

If grpTextAttributes.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red Then
Block of code here
End If

Comparing the ForeColor the way youre showing works fine for me. Are you sure its actually System.Drawing.Color.Red and not just the color "red"?

I tried this by using the ForeColor property of a TextBox and a GroupBox control, both worked just fine. I used C# but I dont think it would make a difference.

Well, when I use the code I displayed above, I get the following error:

Operator = is not defined for types System.Drawing.Color and System.Drawing.Color.

When I use just Red instead of System.Drawing.Color.Red, it says that the name Red is not declared.

Weird, you can do this in C#. Try this instead:

        If TextBox1.ForeColor.Equals(System.Drawing.Color.Red) Then
            Debug.WriteLine("red")
        Else
            Debug.WriteLine("not red")
        End If
