Table Cell Content Color - Trouble

[Anonymous]

I'm in great need of help!!
I'm using c# and I've created a table & i want to give certain cells' contents in that table a different color:
my table is called: t1

AcadDocument myDocument;

t1.SetCellContentColor(row,column, AcadAcCmColor)

I can't understand this "AcadAcCmColor"

I've tried this code:
AcadAcCmColor color = myDocument.application.GetInterfaceObject("AutoCAD.AcCmColor.16");
color.SetRGB(255,0,0);
t1.SetCellContentColor(2,1,color);

but i get this error
Run-Time Error ... Problem in loading application

please help me step by step to set the color of this cell

Thank you

Call GetCellColor() or whatever the name of the method that
returns the existing color is, modify the resulting AcadAcCmColor
object it returns, and then pass that to SetCellContentColor()

Hi I'm having a similar issue, trying to set the colour variables, using ColorIndex:

my code is as follows:

AcadAcCmColor col;
AcadAcCmColor col2;
AcadAcCmColor col3;

col.ColorIndex = 90;

col.ColorIndex = 253;

col.ColorIndex = 3;

PressTable.SetCellContentColor(LstRow, 0, col3);

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,

it looks like you're assigning the ColorIndex property 3 times to same instance (col)...

sorry that was a typo

AcadAcCmColor col;
AcadAcCmColor col2;
AcadAcCmColor col3;

col.ColorIndex = 90;

col2.ColorIndex = 253;

col3.ColorIndex = 3;

PressTable.SetCellContentColor(LstRow, 0, col3);

the error is the color index not being set, the variables need to be a AcadAcCmColor to work in the SetCellContentColour method.

Regards,

You need to create new instances of AcadAcCmColor before assigning them a color. An then, use the AcColor enum for the color index value.

AcadAcCmColor col = new AcadAcCmColor();
col.ColorIndex = (AcColor)3; // or AcColor.acGreen;
PressTable.SetCellContentColor(0, 0, col);

But if you can use the .NET API instead of the COM API, you can simply do:

table.Cells[0, 0].ContentColor = Color.FromColorIndex(ColorMethod.ByAci, 3);
