GraphicComponent Color

hussainak

Hi,

I'm trying to change the Color of a GraphicComponent from the ABB.Robotics.RobotStudio.Station namespace,  but it raises an exception saying "The given key was not present in the dictionary." Did anyone encounter this serious headache problem ever ?

Some code ... 

[CODE]

try{

GraphicComponent boxesGroup = activeStation.GraphicComponents["BoxGroup1"];

boxesGroup.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red; //Raises the exception

}

catch(Exception ex){

}

[/CODE]

Hi,

 

are you using VSTA or have you created your Add-In with Visual Studio?

 

VSTA does not support using types from the Windows.Drawing namespace.

 

To set the color of a graphic component you can use this method on the VSTABridge class:

 

public static void SetColor(
ProjectObject obj,
byte R,
byte G,
byte B
)

Thanks Niklas, that worked
