How can I set RenderStyle with color from System.Media.Windows?

[abdechafi.neji]

I'm trying to set color of some assembly parts in the assembly components and the colors are from WPF toolkit color picker control , the colors are from System.Media.Windows and I would like to convert this color to Inventor color .

How can I achieve this conversion?

RenderStyles oRenderStyles = AssemblyDoc.RenderStyles;

var color = System.Drawing.Color.FromName("DarkRed");
Color myColor = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateColor(color.R, color.G, color.B) ;

RenderStyle oMyPartStyleSteel = oRenderStyles["DarkRed"]; // throw System.ArgumentException

However , I'm tried using this :

Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Color

But I can't find it in the API of the inventor.

Your question is confusing to me.

• You define variable myColor, but it is not used.
• RenderStyle object is obsolete almost 10 years. It was replaced by Assets.
• You try to access to assembly.RenderStyles by name, but "DarkRed" not exists in default collection.

Sorry, this question can't be answered.

Hi @abdechafi.neji.  Although it is true that RenderStyles are essentially obsolete, their functionality is still supported in the background for legacy purposes.  I assembled some code together within an iLogic rule editor dialog for you to review.  FYI:  iLogic uses vb.net as its basis, and I can see that your code seems like C#, so you may have to do some translation.

AddReference "System.Drawing"
Imports System.Drawing
Dim oADoc As AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim oRenderStyles As RenderStyles = oADoc.RenderStyles
Dim oSysColor As System.Drawing.Color = System.Drawing.Color.DarkRed
Dim R As Byte = oSysColor.R
Dim G As Byte = oSysColor.G
Dim B As Byte = oSysColor.B
'Dim oTO As TransientObjects = ThisApplication.TransientObjects
'Dim oColorFromSys As Inventor.Color = oTO.CreateColor(R, G, B)
Dim oRenderStyle As RenderStyle
Try
	oRenderStyle = oRenderStyles.Item("DarkRed")
Catch
	oRenderStyle = oRenderStyles.Add("DarkRed")
End Try
oRenderStyle.SetAmbientColor(R, G, B)
oRenderStyle.SetDiffuseColor(R, G, B)
Dim oComp1 As ComponentOccurrence = oADoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences.ItemByName("TestPart1:1")
MsgBox(oComp1.Name)
oComp1.IsAssociativeToDesignViewRepresentation = False
oComp1.SetRenderStyle(StyleSourceTypeEnum.kPartRenderStyle, oRenderStyle)
