Check if Block's color is bylayer?

[Anonymous]

I can check linetype, lineweight easy by doing this

dim blkref as acadblockreference
msgbox blkref.lineweight

but how do I check color? if I do:
blkref.color it returns 256, but the block is actually bylayer.

Thanks,
Viktor.

that is correct. if you want to check using an enumerated name then use
acByLayer which equals 256.

Thanks, after dinking around with it I realized that setting a color to 256 will actually set it to bylayer, that's a question to add to the cad quiz.
