Handy inc file

[sam.cogswell]

I have created this file from W3School's list of 140 named colors for iwb.  It took a while as thay are listed in RGB format and I converted them to BGR to be compatible with iwBasic.

  /* I've included both spellings of Gray in all colors using it. (Gray and Grey) Use whichever you like. */
  /* **** The color "Tan" is purposely mispelled "Taan" so it won't be confused with "TAN" (Tangent) **** */

All I can say is WOW and THANK YOU.

Should save many people lots of time.

Thanks,

sam.cogswell,

You're supposed to be the Newbie, not me. But, I'm going to ask a newbie question. What do you name the inc file so that everybody is consistent?

Bill

[billhsln]

I saved mine as 'ColorDef140.inc'.  Just seemed logical.

Bill

[Bill-Bo]

Bill,

To tell you the truth, I did the same for the same reason. But him being a newbie, I wasn't positive. He might use it in one of his program but with a different name.

Bill

[sam.cogswell]

Yes, that's what I named it.  Named colors are much easier to remember.  Especially when you have to modify it years later.

[billhsln]

I agree, I have one file for Console colors and another for Windows colors.  However, I don't have near as many defined as you do.  Of course, that could be that since I don't see the difference I stayed with some of the basic colors.  But it is really cool to have more defined.

I normally use two. One I use in every program and would contain the color constants you so kindly provided. The second would be for the specific program.
