Application.CreateColor method

Creates a color object

Syntax:

Function CreateColor(Optional ByVal ColorString As String) As Color

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
ColorString	String

Remarks:

The CreateColor method creates a color object with default color properties.

This function is now obsolete because the Color object can be used with the New keyword.

Examples:

The following VBA examples show several ways to apply a cyan fill to the first selected object in the active document.

Sub CreateColor1()
  Dim c As Color
  Set c = CreateColor
  c.CMYKAssign 100, 0, 0, 0
  ActiveDocument.Selection.Shapes(1).Fill.ApplyUniformFill c
End Sub
Sub CreateColor2()
  Dim c As New Color
  c.CMYKAssign 100, 0, 0, 0
  ActiveSelection.Shapes(1).Fill.ApplyUniformFill c
End Sub
Sub CreateColor3()
  ActiveShape.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 100, 0, 0 ,0
End Sub
