RTF Functions > SetRTFColor

Modify the build-in RTF color table.

method void VPE.SetRTFColor(

long ID,

Color Color

)

long ID

the entry ID

Color Color

any of the "COLOR_xyz" constants described in Programmer's Manual

or ActiveX / VCL: any RGB value

or .NET: any member of the .NET Color structure

that shall be assigned to the given entry-id

Remarks:

RTF offers no way to set a transparent background mode, like VPE does. So we decided to set the background mode to transparent, in case you are using COLOR_WHITE = RGB(255, 255, 255) as background color.

VPE has build-in a predefined color table:

color1	BLACK	RGB(0, 0, 0)
color2	DKGRAY	RGB(128, 128, 128)
color3	GRAY	RGB(192, 192, 192)
color4	LTGRAY	RGB(230, 230, 230)
color5	WHITE	RGB(255, 255, 255)
color6	DKRED	RGB(128, 0, 0)
color7	RED	RGB(192, 0, 0)
color8	LTRED	RGB(255, 0, 0)
color9	DKORANGE	RGB(255, 64, 0)
color10	ORANGE	RGB(255, 128, 0)
color11	LTORANGE	RGB(255, 192, 0)
color12	DKYELLOW	RGB(224, 224, 0)
color13	YELLOW	RGB(242, 242, 0)
color14	LTYELLOW	RGB(255, 255, 0)
color15	DKGREEN	RGB(0, 128, 0)

Examples:

change color1 with

ActiveX / VCL

Doc.SetRTFColor(1, RGB(10, 10, 10))

.NET

Doc.SetRTFColor(1, Color.FromArgb(10, 10, 10))

Or you can add as many colors to the table as you like, for example:

ActiveX / VCL

Doc.SetRTFColor(31, COLOR_GREEN)

.NET

Doc.SetRTFColor(31, Doc.COLOR_GREEN)

Doc.SetRTFColor(31, Color.Green
