Client side colour problem

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I am trying to use the client side scripting (vbscript) to change the colour 

of a point when the user selects it on a graph. Before I change the colour I 

save the point's current colour so I can change it back when the user 

selects another point. The issue is that the colour being reported by the 

script chart.Point.Item(series, point).Color is incorrect, it just seems to 

be a random color. When it comes time to change the point's colour back it 

no longer matches the rest of the series. Is there a solution to this 

problem?

Regards,

Grey.

If you never set the color for a point, it will not have one.

To reset the color of a point to its original value do:

Point.[series, point].Color = Color.Empty;

Thanks for the reply Francisco.

Unfortunately this has not solved my problem. I am explicitly setting point 

colours when I generate the graph on the server side. Are you saying that I 

also have to explicitly set the point colours on the client side to use 

client side scripting? Also, Color.Empty does not work with vbscript client 

side scripting, it just gives me an "object required" error.

Grey.

The problem here is that Color is a .NET color, not a HTML color, so the 

color being returned to you is correct is just that JavaScript doesn't know 

how to read it.

I'm not sure if it is possible to interact with .NET colors from JavaScript, 

I will do some research on this.
