Hi ,

Is there any way to read all the contents of the colorDB via script?

For example, colorDB1 has 10 colors , I would like to read it all and store it in a dyn_string.

Thanks,
Bala

You can read the file

you can see a example in

WinCC_OA\3.16\MobileAppServer_3.16\scripts\libs\mobileApp.ctl

in mobileApp_ColorDB_loadDBs()

Thanks a lot!

If you want to get the colors defined in your project you can use the CTRL function getColorNames();
Also the function colorGet() and colorToRgb() are available to get the color information.

Thank you! will use both the approaches for reading colors. for grouping and reading colors , based on colordbname, will use the earlier approach. for reading a individual color or color pattern's based on individual colorname, will use the latter.
