Get color of text, odd results....

I'm trying to get the color of a chunk of text, I can get the size, font, etc... but struggling with getting the color.
When I use this code
InterfacePtr<const IAttrReport> fontColorAttrReport(iComposeScanner->QueryAttributeAt(charCounter,charCounter + 1,kTextAttrColorBoss,NULL));
InterfacePtr<const ITextAttrUID> fontColorAttr(fontColorAttrReport, IID_ITEXTATTRUID);
UID colorUID = fontColorAttr->Get();
int32 colorspace;
ColorArray colorArray;
PMReal tint;
Utils<IColorSystemUtils>()->GetColorSwatchColorSpaceAndValue(UIDRef(::GetDataBase(TxtModel ),colorUID), colorspace,colorArray,tint);
WideString colorInfoString = WideString(Utils<IColorSystemUtils>()->GetColorInfoString(colorspace,colorArray,kTrue));
The colorInfoString comes back like this
R=1 G=1 B=1
or
C=0 M=1 Y=0 K=0
The thing is, these results are wrong, the values get rounded up or down, for example, the RGB value is actually a pale green, not pure green as the value would suggest.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
I simply want to get the R,G,B values or CMYK, depending on colorspace.
Hope someone can help, I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid.
Cheers

ColorArray values are Real numbers, so your error may simply be your are displaying them as integers ...
Agh -- sorry! GetColorInfoString formats it for you.

  • Get colors and text from Legend or chart?

    It seems to be impossible ( or at least I cannot find a way to ) to wrap the labels in the Legend control.
    so I will have to write my own legend control that can do this.
    In order to create a Legend control I will need to get a array of the colors used in the Chart ( or legend) and apply these to the new legend control. Can anyone advise how I can do this?
    thanks

    Hi Natasha
    I have tried:
    for each(var item in myChart.series.legendData ){
    trace("series item is : " + item);
    And
    for each(var item in myChart.series.items){
    trace("series item is : " + item);
    UPDATE: I have also tried:
    trace ("legendData is : " + myChart.series[0].legendData); 
    trace("items is : " + myChart.series[0].items);
    for each(var item:Array in myChart.series[0].legendData){ 
    trace("series item is : "+ item);
    And again the trace statement in the for each loop is never reached, and the other trace statements are empty (besides the initial string), yet I can see in the variables window of Eclipse that there should be data.
    And I have a breakpoint on the trace statement, yet in both cases the breakpoint is never reached. I am not getting any error message.
    Also, when editing, when I put the '.' after myChart.series I do not get either legendData or items in the 'intellisense', just methods. Perhaps the intellisense is very limited.
    Anyway, can you advise on another way to get the colors and labels from a chart so I can create my own legend, which can wrap the labels?
    Many thanks

  • Under the settings messages SMS/MMS there is no option to turn on/off group chats. As a result I don't get any group texts. Help!

    Group chat so I don't get any group texts.

    The setting to turn that on or off does not affect your receiving group texts. Are these group texts from a non-iDevice? Do you have MMS turned on? Many group texts are turned into MMS by some carriers.

  • Is there a way to change the font size and color of text in the calendar app?

    Does anyone know a way of changing the font size and color of text in the calendar app that comes with the iPad 2?  It is very hard to see the small gray numbers on the calendar.  Thanks

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • How do I change the color of text in Messages?

    How do I change the color of text in Messages? It was easy to do before, but I can't seem to find it after the upgrade.. is it a hidden menu option?  The gray text is really annoying.

    Two possible ways are available
    Set the text with and html text string like "<html><font color-red>" + text + "</font></html>"
    or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)

  • How do i change the color of text boxes and the texts that i enter in them?

    I recently changed my system's color settings and now the text boxes in Firefox are dark grey. This is fine when the text happens to show up as white, but when it shows up as black, I can't read what I'm typing. (I'm not clear on what makes the difference. The box I'm typing this in now happens to be dark grey with white text.) I've tried playing around with settings within Firefox preferences and in my OS' (Kubuntu) system settings, and haven't yet been able to identify what settings exactly might change this specific aspect.

    Two possible ways are available
    Set the text with and html text string like "<html><font color-red>" + text + "</font></html>"

  • How to get the highlighted text range through Framemaker's API calls?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to the Framemaker API (7.x) and developing a plugin for Framemaker 7.x. I wanted to get the highlighted objects from the active mif document. Tried this code:
    F_TextRangeT tr;
    /* Get the current text selection. */
    tr = F_ApiGetTextRange(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_TextSelection);
    Here is how I tested it:
    1. some text in the mif doc was highlighted.
    2. I clicked the menu item "my_plugin", a framemaker dialog popped up, some test configuration was sent through the dialog.
    3. The test configuration was read by my program correctly.
    However, the debugger showed that the tr is null! When I changed the first step of the test into:
    1. placed the mouse cursor at somewhere in the mif doc.
    The plugin worked somehow, the line where the mouse cursor was placed got selected, although I did not highlight anything.
    My question is: how to get a highlighted range though the Framemaker API call? I've been flipping through the FDK 7.0 Programmer's Reference but haven't found a solution yet. Any hint will be highly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Ellen N. Zhao

    Here is some information from the FDK Programmer's guide page 115:
    IMPORTANT: A valid text range can span multiple paragraphs, subcolumns, or text frames.
    It cant span multiple flows, footnotes, table cells, or text lines.
    It is possible for a document to have no text selection or insertion point at all. This can occur in
    the following circumstances:
    ● One or more graphic objects in the document are selected
    ● One or more entire table cells in the document are selected
    ● There is no selection of any type in the document
    So, I did select one or more entire table cells in the document in my first test. It's logical that the result was not like expected.
    But selecting one or more entire table cells is a crucial requirement for my plugin, is there anyway to get things straight?
    Simply put, I want to enable users to select one or more table cells in the document, and I want to get the object handles of the first cell and the last cell through Framemaker API calls. How?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Ellen N. Zhao

    Hello Everyone,

    you can do that by using SQLCMD
    http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2013/03/05/sql-server-exporting-query-results-to-csv-using-sqlcmd/
    you can also use BCP 
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "select * from tempdb.dbo.orders" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'
    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp "exec usertest.dbo.proctest" queryout "c:\output.txt" -c -T'

  • May I know how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box?

    Can anyone tell me how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box? I have tried to use property node but not really know how it functions.
    In fact, I am writing a program for which the number inside indicator on front panel will show red color if the measured value can't reach the requirement. I am using LabView 6.1 Professional
    Thank You for your attention!!!!!!

    Simply use a property node with "NumText.TextColor" and wire the correct color depending on your test result.
    The attached simple example (LV 6.1) lets you change it from the front panel. In your case, you would use your test output instead of a FP switch, of course. Message Edited by altenbach on 05-25-2005 09:05 PM
