Hi all,

I am new to VB.net and have a question. I have created a bitmap image of a form, and I am attempting to loop through pixels, starting with the pixel at a mouse-click and color them blue if they are gainsboro. The For loop is working correctly, but if I click on a color which I know is gainsboro, the loop never seems to enter the if statement. Any help for this rookie would be greatly appreciated! A bit of code is below.

        If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            StartX = e.X
            StartY = e.Y

            For i = StartY To 1 Step -1
                color1 = m_PrintBitmap.GetPixel(StartX, i)
                If color1.ToString.Equals(gainsboro.ToString) Then
                    m_PrintBitmap.SetPixel(StartX, i, blue)
                ElseIf color1.ToString = blue.ToString Then
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next i
        End If

Solution:

Must use "color.ToArgb" logic. "Color.Tostring" logic produces different results for system.drawing.color, than for a picture.getpixel(x,y).

If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            StartX = e.X
            StartY = e.Y
            For i = StartY To 1 Step -1
                color1 = m_PrintBitmap.GetPixel(StartX, i)
                If color1.ToArgb.Equals(gainsboro.ToArgb) Then
                    m_PrintBitmap.SetPixel(StartX, i, blue)
                ElseIf color1.ToArgb.Equals(blue.ToArgb) Then
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next i
        End If
