im not sure i understand what your wanting to do this for but if you must then youll have to set the value you want manually as their is no way to actually retrieve the shapes color.

So lets say you want your shape to be filled with red [which is 255] then youd set a variable which we'll call scolor to 255. Then set the fillcolor for the shape [which we'll call shape1] to the var, and finally output the variable to an inifile. A small example is below. Hope it helps

sColor = 255
Shape.SetFillColor("Shape1", sColor);
INIFile.SetValue("AutoPlay\\Docs\\Settings.ini", "Shape1", "Color", sColor);

p.s.
a more practical use would be to set the scolor variable with a dialog.input or perhaps a input object.

i gotcha here is a revised copy of your apz. You'll notice i added 1 line to your label code [at the bottom] and added a line in page preload and a conditional statement in page on show.

why can i not set pluging invisible ? if no color make it invisible...

if scolor ~= nil then
  Shape.SetFillColor("Plugin1", scolor);
  else
  Shape.SetVisible("Plugin1", false)
end

[ButtonMaker]

isnt that correct ? if no color make it invisible...

if scolor ~= nil then
  Shape.SetFillColor("Plugin1", scolor);
  else
  Plugin.SetVisible("Plugin1", false);
end

yes your correct, problem is that scolor is set by the inifile. if the inifile were empty it would work or if the color value in the ini was blank it would work.
