GraphicComponent Color

hussainak ✭

April 2010 in RobotStudio

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
  )
