Checking PicBox Color

[Jay1b]

I am trying to check on the color of a pic box using an if statement, but it doesnt like it, apparently = isnt a valid operator for for system.drawing.color.

It works fine when i am trying to set the color, just not when i am using it in an if statement.

If picRX.BackColor = Color.Green Then MsgBox("")

Thanks.

I really thank you for asking this question i was surprised to see that it doesnot work, neither the Is operator works too.

I digged up a little, and found that to compare colors you should use the equals method of the color.

In your case
If picRX.BackColor.Equals(Color.Green) Then

Cheers,

errr...its no problem

It should be me doing the thanking, as you helped me out, not vice-versa, so Thank you.

How come everyone else can always find the answers, and i spend 30 mins or so on google, getting absolutely nowhere?

Cool James Dean quote by the way.

Well i searched for 2 minutes on google and didnot find it, so ichecked MSDN help inside visual studio .NET

I used to find that brilliant in VB6 and below, but it never seems to find anything in vb.net anymore - but perhaps its the way i am just doing it.
