function ColorToRGB(

  Color: TColor

):LongInt;

Arguments

Color

  

TColor value converted in the method.

Function result

TColor value after the Alpha channel is removed from the input value.

Description

ColorToRGB ensures that TColor values for special and system colors remove the non-RGB values in the constant (Alpha channel).

To get a hexadecimal string for a color value with the bytes in RGB order use: 

// var ColorStr: String;
ColorStr := '$'+ Red(clMoneyGreen).ToHexString(2) + 
  Green(clMoneyGreen).ToHexString(2) + 
  Blue(clMoneyGreen).ToHexString(2);

Use RGBToColor to convert individual RGB byte values to a TColor value.
