1. Next question...
Hmm...
So, I start my next question...
I've got setTextColor set to a decimal value, or set to an rgb() value...
yet whether or not I throw it in a onPaint, the desired color,
(something other than black) doesn't come up.
Yet another newbie-style question, sorry :)
TIA,
Blessed Be! --"LEVIATHAN"

Put this:
setTextColor( newForm, rgb(81,144,0) )
wPuts( newForm, "This text is in green" )
in your onPaint event, & you will get the text printed in green IN THE
WINDOW; I'll bet, however, that you were thinking you could use this to
control the color of the text in your controls??

Yup, thats where I am stuck :)
Trying to control color of text in the Statictext controls (LText, RText,
CText)
Is there a way to have the control colors turn other colors?

No, sorry. Technically, it's possible. Practically, I decided that it would
be a bad idea. For example, it might seem that setting a particular button
to Red is a good plan - but what if the user already has selected a red
color
scheme?
Microsoft makes this sort if mistake in some of their application wizards.
If you change your settings so that windows are black (don't laugh - I've
done it) and text is bright
white, the text in the _wizards_ is *still* black, because it's hard coded.
So I figured the best plan was to respect the user's color scheme.
But since I'm no longer the primary coder, you might talk Matt into adding
that feature.

I am sure that there is a method for color conversion. Please ask senior
coders.
Thank You
