ColorSchemes Collection

Application ColorSchemes
ColorScheme
ColorFormat

A collection of all the ColorScheme objects in Microsoft Publisher. Each ColorScheme object represents a color scheme, which is a set of colors that are used in a publication.

Using the ColorSchemes collection

Use the Count property to return the number of color schemes available to Microsoft Publisher. The following example displays the number of color schemes.

Sub CountColorSchemes()
    MsgBox Application.ColorSchemes.Count
End Sub
		

Use the Item property to return a specific color scheme from the ColorSchemes collection. The Index argument of the Item property can be the number or name of the color scheme, or a PbColorScheme constant. The follow example sets the color scheme of the active publication to Wildflower.

Sub SetColorScheme()
    ActiveDocument.ColorScheme _
        = ColorSchemes.Item(pbColorSchemeWildflower)
End Sub
		

Use the Name property to return a color scheme name. The following example lists in a text box all the color schemes available to Publisher.

Sub ListColorShemes()

    Dim clrScheme As ColorScheme
    Dim strSchemes As String

    For Each clrScheme In Application.ColorSchemes
        strSchemes = strSchemes & clrScheme.Name & vbLf
    Next
    ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes.AddTextbox( _
        Orientation:=pbTextOrientationHorizontal, _
        Left:=72, Top:=72, Width:=400, Height:=500).TextFrame _
        .TextRange.Text = strSchemes

End Sub
