Syntax

public void SetInitialColor(
	InitialColor initialColor
)

Public Sub SetInitialColor ( 
	initialColor As InitialColor
)

public:
void SetInitialColor(
	InitialColor^ initialColor
)

member SetInitialColor : 
        initialColor : InitialColor -> unit

Examples

public void SetInitialColorProperty(LightType lightType)
{
    InitialColor initialColor = lightType.GetInitialColor();
    if (initialColor is CustomInitialColor)
    {
        CustomInitialColor custom = initialColor as CustomInitialColor;
        double colorTemperature = custom.Temperature;

        // Set new value for color temperature and set modified initial color to LightType.
        custom.Temperature = 3450.0;
        lightType.SetInitialColor(custom);

        // Create a PresetInitialColor and set it to LightType.
        PresetInitialColor preset = new PresetInitialColor(ColorPreset.Halogen);
        lightType.SetInitialColor(preset);

    }
}

Public Sub SetInitialColorProperty(lightType As LightType)
   Dim initialColor As InitialColor = lightType.GetInitialColor()
   If TypeOf initialColor Is CustomInitialColor Then
      Dim [custom] As CustomInitialColor = TryCast(initialColor, CustomInitialColor)
      Dim colorTemperature As Double = [custom].Temperature

      ' Set new value for color temperature and set modified initial color to LightType.
      [custom].Temperature = 3450.0
      lightType.SetInitialColor([custom])

      ' Create a PresetInitialColor and set it to LightType.
      Dim preset As New PresetInitialColor(ColorPreset.Halogen)

      lightType.SetInitialColor(preset)
   End If
