I have a piece of code that is trying to convert a string to a
knownColor via CType. Is this not possible? I keep getting an error
that you cant convert a string to an integer. Is there another way to
do this?

For Each clr as object In Colors
If Not Color.FromKnownColor(CType(clr,
KnownColor)).IsSystemColor Then
alColor.Add(clr.ToString)
End If
Next

Thanks so much.
