Rx 9.3.2 with .NET 4.7.2: Using Named Colors

[BCTest]

Hi,

looks like I made something seriously stupid but I don't know how to troubleshoot.
I want to use

Color.ControlDarkDark

(https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet ... work-4.7.2) in Ranorex but got a compiler error

Error CS0117: 'System.Drawing.Color' enthält keine Definition für 'ControlDarkDark'.

('System.Drawing.Color' does not contain a definition for 'ControlDarkDark'.)
How can I solve it?


BTW:

Color.Red

eg. works.

Thanks in advance,

Just an addition:

Validate.AttributeEqual(repo.ReportItemInfo, "BackColor", "ControlDarkDark");

works fine.

Hi,

Please post entire code, include applied "usings".

[BCTest]

Here:

        private void Init()
        {
            var colorRed = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
            var colorDarkGray = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;
            var colorSysGray = System.Drawing.Color.ControlDarkDark;
        }

Hi,

Apparently, ControlDarkDark cannot be used directly, as other colors? Maybe it's available in higher .NET version? But it's definitely not available in 4.7.2...

But you can do it this way:

Code: Select all

var colorSysGray = System.Drawing.Color.FromName("ControlDarkDark");

Hi odklizec,

yes, your hint was very useful,
thanks a lot.

Only to clarify: the link I posted before (https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet ... work-4.7.2) was from Microsoft for Framework 4.7.2. so this color should be definied ... at least that's what the documentation says.

Nevermind now it works for me.

Hi,

Yes, I saw in the doc, that it should work with 4.7.2, except it does not Anyway, the workaround should be viable substitute.
