I'm getting really tired and annoyed at this.

Anyway, you can't set it from a string. Use String.ToNumber then SetFillColor.

GOOGLE, open AMS, goto the main menu, click about>>help, look for the actions section, then look for INIFile.....all the information you need is there

try this GoOgLe


result = TextFile.ReadToString("C:\\bgcolor.txt");
color = String.ToNumber(result);
Shape.SetFillColor("Shape1", color);

storeing 1 line of text in a file like that is a waist, what if you need to save more settings....more files..?..

use a ini file to store app settings


result = INIFile.GetValue(_WindowsFolder.."\\My Settings.ini", "My Section", "bgcolor");
color = String.ToNumber(result);
Shape.SetFillColor("Shape1", color);

[GoOgLe]

what am i doing wrong ?

On Show:

result = INIFile.GetValue(_WindowsFolder.."\\My Settings.ini", LastColor);
color = String.ToNumber(result);
Shape.SetFillColor("Shape1", color);

On Close:

INIFile.SetValue(_WindowsFolder.."\\My Settings.ini", LastColor);

dont use a variable for the page show bit, it needs the actual name of the ini value, also you dont have enough arguments

i take it you are storeing the color in the variable "LastColor"

try this

-- on show
result = INIFile.GetValue(_WindowsFolder.."\\My Settings.ini", "LastColor");
color = String.ToNumber(result);
Shape.SetFillColor("Shape1", color);

-- on close
INIFile.SetValue(_WindowsFolder.."\\My Settings.ini", "LastColor",LastColor);
