Change element's appearance background color

[gandel]

Hi,
I want to change background color of an element (class or use case) to a given RGB color. How can I make this (with script)?

Thank you in advance

Check Element.Setappearance in the help.

Thanks, it works:

Code: [Select]

myElement.SetAppearance(1,0,color);//color is RGB number
myElement.Update();

Hi,

I also want to set the appearance of an element via a VBA Script which automatically creates component out of an excel sheet I used :

Code: [Select]

myElement.SetAppearance(1,0,255)
myElement.Update
parentPackage.elements.Refresh
 and when I try to run the script I get the error : Error while compiling , syntax error , expected =    (translated)
VBA doens't need the ; at the end , I have mutliple methodes in that script that work fine with the syntax but here it asked me to set a "=" for what?

Thank you
