    Question Layer Generator VBA Help

    I am working on the attached layer generator, but can't seem to get it to load the layers. I think I am missing something in the code. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    What I've found at the quick glance:
    I changed declaration at the start of project:
    dim ColAr as Variant
    because of any colors is in format RGB, not integer
    - I see your layer names have an extrafluous blank spaces
    - I've changed your sub to avoid getting an empty string:

    Code:
    Public Sub UpdateLabels()
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Close #1
    For j = LBound(LayNameAr) To UBound(LayNameAr)
        If LayNameAr(j) = ListBox1.Text Then
            LTypLabel.Caption = "Linetype: " & vbCrLf & LTypeAr(j)
            Label4.Caption = "Layer Description :" & vbCrLf & LayDescAr(j)
            Open "C:\Windows\Temp\AugiLayerColors.txt" For Input As #1
                rw = 1
                    Do While Not (EOF(1))
                        Line Input #1, MyVar
                        SplitItemVariant = Split(MyVar, ",")
                        If MyVar <> "" Then
                        ReDim ColAr(j)
                            If SplitItemVariant(0) = ColAr(j) Then
                                TextBox2.BackColor = RGB(SplitItemVariant(1), SplitItemVariant(2), SplitItemVariant(3))
                                TextBox2.Text = ColAr(j)
                                GoTo LabelsUpdated
                            End If
                            End If
                    Loop
        End If
    Next
    LabelsUpdated:
    End Sub

    Default Re: Layer Generator VBA Help

    I have updated the file. (Attached) The layers load great, except for 2 problems:

    1. When I select all layers, the colors come in as white. When I select one of the subsets, the colors come in.
    2. The RGB colors are coming in as white (Index Color). Is there a way to use two different color modes (Index and True Color)?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Question Re: Layer Generator VBA Help

    I had a problem getting the All Layers to import with the new code, so I updated the code to fix the problem; however, I can't seem to get the "true" colors to come in RGB format. They translate to white. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    I guess you need to pass the RGB values to a color object (AcadAcCmColor) via SetRGB method. Then set the layer's Truecolor property to this object.
