Change active color in C#

[stardust1611]

I wanted to change active color in the color control, with the COM interface, but I simply couldn't figure it out. To change active layer or active lineype is so easy:

app.ActiveDocument.ActiveLinetype = app.ActiveDocument.Linetypes.Item("ByLayer");
app.ActiveDocument.ActiveLayer = app.ActiveDocument.Layers.Item("Window");

But command to set active color is not there, and also to set the active lineweight. So, how do I set active color and active lineweight with COM classes, and how do I do it with managed classes? Thanks.

Set the CECOLOR system variable.

Thanks Tony very much. This works:
app.ActiveDocument.SetVariable("CECOLOR","BYLAYER");

and I found the system varible to set the active lineweight:
app.ActiveDocument.SetVariable("CELWEIGHT",-1);

Is this the only way to set it, or is there an alternative?

In C#, the Database object has a corresponding property
for most system variables that are saved in the drawing.
