In my case, I would like to pass CCCCCC. This is why I mentioned this function may not be what I am looking for.

I also don't understand why there is negative numbers in that sample I took from Sheridan grid control. One of the parameters is going like this PARAM NAME="BackColor" VALUE="-2147483643".
