WHY DOESNT THIS WORK

vb certified · July 31st, 2005, 07:08 PM

Dim pixelColor As Color
        Dim x As Integer
        Dim y As Integer

        Do
            pixelColor = myBitmap.GetPixel(x, y)
            Label1.BackColor = pixelColor
            If pixelColor = Color.Red Then
                MsgBox("YOU FOUND COLOR AT " & x & " " & y & "!")
                Exit Do
            End If
            x += 1
            If x = myBitmap.Width Then
                x = 0
                y += 1
            End If
        Loop Until y = myBitmap.Height
the loop works very well except the code has a problem with the
If pixelColor = Color.Red Then
                MsgBox("YOU FOUND COLOR AT " & x & " " & y & "!")
                Exit Do
            End If
it has trouble with the first line. I cant remember what i can use to check wheter a color matches a color. EX
IF color1 = color2 then
dosomthing
end if
Any help is wonderful help

If pixelColor.Equals(Color.Red) Then
MsgBox("YOU FOUND COLOR AT " & x & " " & y & "!")
Exit Do
End If

You are probably better off to use the RGB value than a named color. Try this, it worked for me:

If pixelcolor.Equals(Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0)) Then
MessageBox.Show("YAY")
End If
