Re: Color data type

Thank you, Alex and Peter.  

(I apologize for not searching the 'Color' object first since
'Color.Empty' is described at the top of the MSDN page.  I'm not sure
why I didn't even think about looking at the Color structure itself.)

Peter

Subject: Re: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Color data type

Color.Empty is intended for such things.

Color colour = Color.Empty;
// TODO: assign another colour
if(colour == Color.Empty)
{
  Trace.WriteLine("No colour assigned");
}

Color.Empty is actually the same as Color.Black with a 0 Alpha.
