Ok I understand how it gets the number now. Thanks.

But now how do I call that number back into the Color propertie of my edit box.

I used this to save the Color number:

code:

---

TIniFile *StartUp = new TIniFile("IValues.ini");

StartUp->WriteString("CtlValues",  "txtColor",     Edit1->Color);

delete StartUp;

---

I tried to load it in with this but I get debug error:

code:

---

TIniFile *StartUp = new TIniFile("IValues.ini");

Edit1->Color  = StartUp->ReadString("CtlValues",  "txtColor", "");

delete StartUp;

---

Debug Errors:

quote:

---

[C++ Warning] save.cpp(30): W8018 Assigning AnsiString to TColor
[C++ Error] save.cpp(30): E2034 Cannot convert 'AnsiString' to 'TColor'

---

So it looks like to me that the Edit1->Color can't convert the Color number (AnsiString) to Edit1's Color propertie.

How would I get this to work?
