Three paramaters, r g and b, red green blue

Code

Private Type zRGB
R As Long

End Type
Private Sub Form_Load()
'this is just an example
'if you don't tweak the code, you will have to
'dim a variable as "zRGB" that stores the returns
Dim cRGB As zRGB
cRGB = LongToRGB(RGB(255, 250, 255))
MsgBox cRGB.R & ", " & cRGB.G & ", " & cRGB.B
End
End Sub
Private Function LongToRGB(ColorValue As Long) As zRGB
Dim rCol As Long, gCol As Long, bCol As Long
rCol = ColorValue And &H10000FF 'this uses binary comparason
gCol = (ColorValue And &H100FF00) / (2 ^ 8)
bCol = (ColorValue And &H1FF0000) / (2 ^ 16)
