Setting System.Drawing.Color through .NET COM Interop
Question: I am trying to use Aspose.Words library through COM Interop. There is one
critical problem: I cannot set color. It is supposed to work by assigning to
DocumentBuilder.Font.Color, but when I try to do it I get OLE error
0x80131509. My problem is pretty much like [this
one](http://www.aspose.com/community/forums/81588/font.color/showthread.aspx#81588).

update:

Code Sample:

    
    
    from win32com.client import Dispatch
    Doc = Dispatch("Aspose.Words.Document")
    Builder = Dispatch("Aspose.Words.DocumentBuilder")
    Builder.Document = Doc
    print Builder.Font.Size
    print Builder.Font.Color
    

Result:

    
    
    12.0
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "aaa.py", line 6, in <module>
        print Builder.Font.Color
      File "D:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 501, in __getattr__
        ret = self._oleobj_.Invoke(retEntry.dispid,0,invoke_type,1)
    pywintypes.com_error: (-2146233079, 'OLE error 0x80131509', None, None)
    

Using something like Font.Color = 0xff0000 fails with same error message

While this code works ok:

    
    
    using Aspose.Words;
    namespace ConsoleApplication1
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                Document doc = new Document();
                DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
                builder.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
                builder.Write("aaa");
                doc.Save("c:\\1.doc");
            }
        }
    }
    

So it looks like COM Interop problem.
