Setting Description
Normal RGB colors Colors specified by using the color palette.

The valid range for a typical RGB color is 0 to 16,777,215 (0xFFFFFF). The high byte of a number in this range equals 0; the lower 3 bytes, from least to most significant byte, determine the amount of red, green, and blue, respectively. The red, green, and blue components are each represented by a number between 0 and 255 (0xFF).

For example, consider a color with a red component of 230, a green component of 216, and a blue component of 173. This is the named color "lightblue". Converted to hexadecimal, the red, green, and blue color components are 0xE6, 0xD8, and 0xAD, respectively. Therefore, the color has a hexadecimal value of 0xADD8E6, which converts to the decimal value 11,393,254.

ActiveMovie compatibility mode is only supported through Windows CE .NET 4.1.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 3.0 and later.
