Get Current ForeColor

PhilipAvis

Is there a way to get current forecolor of a form? Or get the default system forecolor?

I have set the forecolor on a list and sometimes it is black, forecolor=0. However I have a visually impaired user who has set Windows to white text on a black background. He ends up with black text on a black background, which he finds quite hard to read....

(Hotblack Desiato would have loved it.)

Any suggestions?

Well, I did a little test and it seems like the forecolor in your form is 0 instead of the default value <0> which automaticaly changes to the default windowsforecolor. It can also be some programmed value.

I think there should be an automationcontrol to find out the windowsvalues. If you then have programmed values you can take the windowsvalues in account.

Good luck
