Color.CMYKBlack property

Gets or sets the CMYK Black color value

Syntax:

Property Get CMYKBlack() As Long
Property Let CMYKBlack(ByVal Value As Long)

Remarks:

The CMYKBlack property returns or specifies the black color value for the CMYK color model in CorelDRAW. A color is an effect applied to an object that alters the object's appearance by the way it reflects light. A color model is a system that defines the number and type of colors that make up an image and that is used to organize and define colors according to a set of basic properties that can be reproduced. Black-and-white, grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and paletted are examples of popular color modes.

CMYK is a color mode made up of cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K). In the CMYK color mode, color values are expressed as percentages, so a value of 100 for an ink means that it is applied at full saturation. Used in most full-color commercial printing, CMYK is like CMY, but the addition of black (K) allows for true blacks and a wider tonal range. The CMYK color mode is based on the CMYK color model.

Examples:

The following VBA example deletes the object if the CMYK color model's black component value is greater than 50.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Set s = ActiveSelection.Shapes(1)
  If s.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKBlack > 50 Then
    s.Delete
  End If
End Sub
