Does anyone know of a reliable way get the default color of a form (as in clDefault) in RGB? I am writing some code to prepare bitmaps and I want their background to match the default color of a form. Unfortunately I don't see a way to convert clDefault to an RGB value. -------------- next part --------------

Okay, you made me laugh, but I hope you were joking. Just to be clear I don't mean to ask how to get the color of something on my screen, I meant how to calculate at runtime the default color of a form in RGB on all platforms without having to take a screenshot of the form. -------------- next part --------------

Asked a similar question once before.
Here's Zeljko's answer to that:

No, clDefault is incorrect at any time. To obtain color we have:
     function GetColorResolvingParent: TColor;
     function GetRGBColorResolvingParent: TColor;

Bart, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! -------------- next part --------------
