Question

I thought this would be simple, but….

How can I get the backgroundcolor of a UILabel (preferably in RGB) ?

I can’t seem to find a method or a simple way to convert a UIColor to RGB.

Thanks.

EDIT:
I ended up using this code:

CGFloat r,g,b,a;
const float* colors=CGColorGetComponents(myLabel.backgroundColor.CGColor);
r=colors[0];
g=colors[1];
b=colors[2];
a=colors[3];

Answer 1

CGFloat r,g,b,a;
UIColor *bgColor = myLabel.backgroundColor;
[bgColor getRed:&r green:&g blue:&b alpha:&a];

or pre-iOS 5:

const CGFloat *rgba = CGColorGetComponents([bgColor CGColor]);
CGFloat r = rgba[0];
CGFloat g = rgba[1];
CGFloat b = rgba[2];
CGFloat a = rgba[3];
