Using Direct Colour
Settings
Using the RGB function or the intrinsic constants to define
colour are indirect
methods. They are indirect because Visual Basic interprets them into the
single approach it uses to represent
colour. If you understand
how colours are
represented in Visual Basic, you can assign numbers to
colour
properties and arguments
that specify colour
directly. In most cases, it’s much easier to enter these numbers in
hexadecimal.
The valid range for a normal RGB
colour
is 0 to 16,777,215 (&HFFFFFF). Each
colour
setting (property or argument) is a 4-byte integer. The high byte of a
number in this range equals 0. The lower 3 bytes, from least to most
significant byte, determine the amount of red, green, and blue,
respectively. The red, green, and blue components are each represented
by a number between 0 and 255 (&HFF).
Consequently, you can specify a
colour
as a hexadecimal number using this syntax:
&HBBGGRR
The BB specifies the amount of blue, GG the amount of
green, and RR the amount of red. Each of these fragments is a
two-digit hexadecimal number from 00 to FF. The median value is 80.
Thus, the following number specifies gray, which has the median amount
of all three colours:

Medium release MTELViewer V1.1 (108)
This is a medium
revision.
The Gateway has been modified to 500 buffer
positions and an EOL timer of 15 mintes. A full buffer is
approximately an hour of data at this point in time.
Changed IP to reflect port as well.
Added current buffer positions. First number
is the gateway input pointer the second is the output pointer.
The input pointer will often be one in
front, as the updates are only accurate when there has been no
packets for about 10 seconds and the ENQ packet is sent. The buffers
are updated in the viewer on the receipt of the ENQ Ack packet or
EOT packet.
If a site is offline the input pointer will
climb. When the site comes back on line a packet is sent once a
second until it catches up. During this time the output pointer will
begin to increase. At the buffer position of 500 the pointer return
to 0 as the buffer is circular. If the site is off too long the last
500 messages are sent.
