Set color from expression

I'm trying to set a forecolor using an expression but its not working.  the expression is:
=Fields!ProposalColor.Value
and the value returned by the expression is:
#FF87A845
and he error msg is:
Warning 1 [rsInvalidColor] The value of the Color property for the textrun ‘ProposalName.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ is “#FF87A845”, which is not a valid Color.
Any idea what I need to do?
Thanks.

Hi moondaddy,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the issue you occurred in my local environment. Just as you said, the string would automatically converts to #87a845 in Reporting Services. Because
HTML color codes are hexadecimal triplets representing the colors red, green, and blue (#RRGGBB). There are only six characters in the color code.
To work around this issue, we can use the expression below to instead the former expression in the color property.
=left(Fields!ProposalColor.Value,1)& right(Fields!ProposalColor.Value,6)
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask. 
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

  • How do I sample color from a photoshop image and apply it to an Encore menu color sets

    I'm about 3 months and many hours of tutorials into Premiere ProCC, Audition CC, and Encore CS6. Apparently the nifty dynamic links from PPro and Audition CS6 no longer work with encore, as encore was not upgraded to CC. So, I want to sample color from an original photoshop image, and create an Encore menu color set, so that my menu bttons, etc. are colored to match the main photo image in the menu. Is there an eyedropper kind of tool in Encore that would let me sample the color from the image, and then apply that to color swatches in the Encore button layers? If there is I can't find it! ~Thanks!

    Strangely enough, I started a thread on this issue a few days ago in the Creative Cloud forum.  I had to uninstall all my pre-CC adobe software to get the Application Manager in sync with the CC apps, so when I tried to use Encore, there it was gone.  So I reinstalled PremPro CS6 just to get Encore back, but when I right clicked a menu in Encore, as asked to Edit in Photoshop, it threw up an error.  The consensus was that Encore CS6 would know nothing about Photoshop CC, so after much time searching for a fix, my only option was to either reinstall Photoshop CS6, or do it manually.
    I took the latter option using Windows 7 to search for the menu, and open/with Photoshop CC.  Stan Jones, who is the Encore equivalent of our Noel, mentioned a brick-bat, but I just saved the edit file and dragged it into Encore, and it worked fine

    Cannot change the Canvas Extension Color from "Background" to a color of my choosing. Is this a glitch, or is there some setting that I can change?

    It depends on how exactly you are doing it but to change the background, I suggest watch this video:

    Hope this helps.

  • Problems Setting-up Airport Express to Play Music thru External Speakers

    Hi:
    I have an HP dv6500z laptop connected to an HP printer C6280 via LinkSys wireless network using the LinkSys 54G router and PrintServer. It works fine.
    I purchased an Apple Airport Express and want to connect it to this network so that I can play songs from within iTunes through external powered speakers wirelessly. The powered speakers are connected to the Airport Express (AE).
    The AE is plugged into the AC outlet and the speakers are turned on. The AE is roughly 10 feet away from the laptop/router, just across the room. The AE's
    LED is flashing amber (It does not yet recognize the network). I installed the Airport Utility from the enclosed CD, downloaded all patch upgrades and it installed successfully.
    Now, how do I tell the Airport Utility to recognize and connect to my existing LinkSys network, so that the AE recognizes it ? The instructions are not clear on this note...they say to run the Airport Utility and then follow the on-screen instructions. The instructions tell you that you will lose your wireless network connection if you continue...and you do if you try.
    The same information comes up if you try to do a manual install.
    How do I connect the AE to an existing network ? This information seems to be missing. If I go to the AirPort Utility Help and search and search on Setting Up AirPort Express, it tells me the following:
    Connect your stereo or powered speakers to your AirPort Express using the mini-jack on the top side of your AirPort Express, and then plug your AirPort Express into a wall outlet.
    Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows.
    Click Music in the toolbar, and select the Enable AirTunes checkbox.
    Problem: What Music in What toolbar ? I do not see this...
    Enter an iTunes speaker name and password. This is the name displayed in the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Problem: Where does this information come from
    If you're setting up your AirPort Express for the first time, choose Assist Me from the Base Station menu and follow the onscreen instructions.
    It seems like something is missing from the setup.
    Aaah...Just for the heck of it, I went under Base Station > Assist Me
    and told it to continue even though the dialog box said it would change the network.
    It displayed a tabbed dialog box where I could configure the AirPort Express, including a tab named Music.
    Note:
    The following two items are listed in Apple's on-line Help inside of Airport Utility, and on the web, yet I did not see them inside of Airport Utility when trying t oconfigure my AE.
    I did not see a checkbox to check, named Enable AirTunes.
    I did not see any place for entering the name and password for my speakers.
    I followed all of the instructions and things looked like they were going well until I clicked Finish.
    Them it said something like it could not save the settings..try again.
    Well, I did, but when I brought Airport Utility back up, it kept saying that it could not detect the AE,
    and when I went under the Base Station menu, all items were grayed-out, so I couldn't do anything.
    Please help... the instructions need to clearer and more detailed.
    Thanx, Dale
    HP dv 6500z Windows Vista New Airport Express

    Hi:
    Thanx for your reply.
    After several more hours of trial & error over the weekend,
    I finally have the Green Light (LED) on the Airport Express.
    And it stays green, even if I unplug it from the AC outlet,
    and plug it back in later. I have the green light so this
    tells me that I have gotten past one hurdle.
    OK...in order to get this far, I had the AE wired to the
    laptop or LinkSys router via an Ethernet cable. How do
    I go about making this a "wireless" connection. LinkSys
    told me how to take my laptop from a hardwired connection
    to wireless, but it doesn't address the issue when you have
    a 3rd party device hardwired that you want to make wireless.
    Side Note:
    I have not tried this yet, but I found a note on the web that
    stated something like this: after getting the green light,
    this guy then disconnected the Ethernet cable from the AE,
    unplugged the AE from AC power for a few minutes, plugged it
    back in to AC power, and voila! ... he was wirelessly on his network.
    OK...let's assume that my AE is now on the wireless network.
    What type of special settings do I need to make inside of iTunes
    in order to get sound to the speakers.
    I have my powered speakers recognized by iTunes...I can select them.
    But, it appears that something may be blocking my AE from talking to
    my network...I keep getting a pop-up box from Symantec saying that it
    is detecting a "virus" (for lack of a better term) at the IP address
    that I set my AE to. Oh, yes...that's another question...
    When manually setting up the AE, I have my router network's IP address
    (dotted-quad) in the list of parameter settings, but...near the top of
    the list, the Airport Utility software asks for your AE's IP.
    Well, what is it ? Nobody has told me ... Where do I get it from ???
    Or...do I assign an arbitrary value to it based on the dotted-quad below ?
    The router has an IP address of something like 192.168.1.xyz. I know what
    the xyz is for the router but, what number do I use here for the AE, or
    does it matter as long as it isn't being used by another network device.
    My network is static.
    So, after using a number not used by my network elsewhere (that I am aware of,
    and...inserting a $ (to specify hexadecimal format)in front of my encryption password, NOT the router password (they intermix the naming of these) I finally managed to get the Green Light on the AE. Note: I am using the WEP-64 bit encryption which is also refered to a "40 bit" (No..not hexadecimal..$40 = 64) which is 40-bit to which a random 24 bit is added to give you 64 bit encryption.
    To summarize;
    I appear to have the AE configured via hardwire (I have the green light).
    In iTunes, I can see and select my powered-speakers from the drop-down menu in the lower right corner, but i am s not yet streaming (hearing) the music.
    It appears that Symantic may be knocking me off the network, or not letting the AE talk to the laptop/router...I have not yet tried this, but another nugget that I found on this site says to go to System Preferences (where?), click on the Firewalls tab, click Advanced , and uncheck "Block UDP Traffic".
    Is this what may be blocking my AE talking to the laptop/router ?
    Any help/feedback would be appreciated...Thank you.
    I'm getting close...but no cigar (yet).

  • Setting color codes for more than one photo at a time

    Is there any way to set color codes for more than one photo at a time?

    Hi John,
    I will look at keywords. My issue is speed. Right now I am culling and editing an event shoot that spanned a week with 35 separate events and more than 5000 images. So I use the fastest most convenient method I can and it still takes a long time to have a completed and final shoot. On this shoot I will end up with a final set of around 1500 images. Right now I am finishing processing a show that will hang in the Deutsches Amerikanish Zentrum in Stuttgart.
    As I am sure you are aware by now, having seen enough of my inane questions that over the last two years or since Lightroom version 1.xx if I could not figure out how to do something I skipped it. So many things in Lightroom are buried and unless you have a mind like a steel trap (and think that some of you guys in the forum do) locating how to do something is not obvious.
    For example, I only learned (in the last hour) that I could assign colors as a group of selections by using Shift + number. I found this in a side head in Martin Evenings Lightroom book. I still do not know how to find a way to display the color filter "selection" set in Library mode. Is there a way?
    To top it off, Stuttgart Media University asked me if I would add a Lightroom module to my schedule this year. Now I have a compelling reason to learn all those missing pieces that I have created workarounds for. Hence the number of posts you have been seeing from me over the past few of weeks.
    I tell my class that there are no such things as stupid questions, only questions. Now I am practicing what I have been preaching for the last gazillion years. Guys like you have been great.
    My workflow is
    1. I first separate all images by event. I do that at the time of import.
    2. I do a fast pass rejecting all the obviously bad images
    3. I do a second pass grouping the images by sub-group (speeches, people talking, performances, etc.) This is where I run out of selection methods and your key-wording could work but it would probably take too much time to establish a keyword set for a single event. Where I have more than five subgroups I set up different collection sets with one collection for each sub group. However I would like to keep a single event in one collection.
    4. I then select the images to be used by color code.
    5. Next I process the final images (crop develop etc) by collection.
    6. Last I output the set according to client requirement.
    If you have a better workflow, I am all ears.
    By the way, what is your photo specialty and where are you located?

  • I set up Airport Express as Client, I can no longer connect to my wlan

    I set up Airport Express in Client mode so that I could use Airtunes. My Router/modem is a netgear one and I use WPA.
    I can no longer connect to my wireless network from my ibook.
    If I plug in the ethernet to the router I can. I can also then see from the router that Airport express has connected itself to the router.
    So what do I have to do to be able to reconnect to myibook to the WLAN?

    Double-check these settings on your iBook:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

  • How to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use

    Please provide step by step instructions on how to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use. I do not have a computer with me, only an iPhone and AEX 802.11n.

    +"Please provide step by step instructions on how to set up Airport Express in Bridge mode for hotel use. I do not have a computer with me, only an iPhone and AEX 802.11n."+
    AirPort Utility is the application that must be used to setup and make any configuration changes to the AirPort Express. I'm not aware of an "App" for this.
    If you could borrow a computer from someone there for 30 minutes or maybe use the computer in the lobby, you could download AirPort Utility and reconfigure your Express. To help with setup, use an ethernet cable from the computer to the Express to help AirPort Utility "see" the Express.

  • IDVD is stripping most color from my images in my slideshow. Please help!

    I have received so much help from this forum....
    I am running iDVD 7.1.2 and Mavericks 10.9.5.
    So I started an iDVD project about 18 months ago on a different computer.
    I saved the project to an external HDD so I could move it from an iMac with a bad DVD drive to a MacBook with an awesome superdrive.  This has always worked for me.
    But I don't think think that information affects my current problem.... just tossing it out there because sometimes information we don't think is relevant is certainly relevant to a knowledgeable person!
    Fast forward 18 months or so. I open the project on another computer, but iDVD is stripping all but the brightest colors from the images in my slideshow.
    Is this a Mavericks thing?
    I have tried, in numerous variations, even to the point of starting a completely new DVD project and dropping the images into the app..... still the same problem:  all the images are mostly black and white (or gray tones at best), with the occasional colored brightest elements from the original photo.  (It's a cool effect, just not appropriate or desirable for this particular project.)
    I have tried the project on different computers, both with opening a new project and with building a new project.   It just doesn't matter.  The slideshow images lose color.  Except, an interesting caveat is that if I pause the playback, click the previous slide button, then play: the image has full color again.  But subsequent images are again B&WwC.
    I figure it must be something awry with the settings in Wirecast.....
    Thank you so much for any assistance.
    Dee Dee

    Hi
    In what kind of format is Your photos ? .jpg, .tif, .bmp else
    What size are they ?
    How many ?
    How many slideshow set's ?
    You are aware of the 99 photos per serie limit. And 99 series/chapters limit per DVD disk ( not iDVD but DVD-Standard in general ).

  • Using the eyedropper tool to take a color from another file or website...

    Am I incorrect?
    If there is a way to do what I am asking if you could please explain how I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

    Not sure what exactly you are asking here.
    However, wrt Kuler in Indesign, You can add swatches to Indesign Swatches Panel. You can apply color to ID Fill/Stroke color by simply double-clicking a color on Create Tab inside Kuler panel. Or you can take color from Fill/Stroke and set it as base in Create tab to create theme around it

  • How to get the default selection color from JTable

    Hi, there,
    I have a question for how to get the default selection color from JTable. I am currently implementing the customized table cell renderer, but I do want to set the selection color in the table exactly the same of default table cell renderer. The JTable.getSelectionBackgroup() did not works for me, it returned dark blue which made the text in the table unreadable. Anyone know how to get the window's default selection color?
    Thanks,
    -Jenny

    The windows default selection color is dark blue. Try selecting any text on this page. The difference is that the text gets changed to a white font so you can actually see the text.
    If you don't like the default colors that Java uses then use the UIManager to change the defaults. The following program shows all the properties controlled by the UIManager:
    http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
    Any of the properties can be changed for the entire application by using:

  • Setting Color of ColorPicker

    Hi,
    I feel like I am missing something obvious (checked the
    LIveDocs and Googled a ton). I have a Flex-based event management
    site. When adding a new event, the event owner has the option to
    select their link (and link hover) colors from a standard Flex
    ColorPicker. This works without any issues. However, when an event
    owner is editing an existing event's details, I need to set the
    color picker to show the previously selected colors, which are
    pulled from a database.
    Colors are stored in the database as strings in the following
    format: 0xFFFFFF, 0x537189, etc. If the colors are web-safe, I have
    no problem setting the selected color of the ColorPicker:
    myCP.selectedColor = uint('0xFFFFFF').
    If the color is not web-safe, my code falls over in that the
    correct color is not set (all non-web safe colors are set to
    0xFFFF00 even though they are in the DB with the proper hex value).
    If I manually type in the hexadecimal color value to the
    ColorPicker's text field, the color is properly displayed and sent
    to the DB correctly when the form is submitted. If I reload the
    application, I then see the incorrect color I mentioned above.
    Stumped on this one. I've thought about loading a massive
    Array of hex values and set it as the DP of the ColorPicker but
    that seems like more work than should be necessary. Of course, I
    could force the client(s) to use web safe colors but then they'll
    just whine about how limiting 216 colors are for links :).
    If anyone has some thoughts on this or a solution, I would
    really appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Craig
