C#.NET	System.Drawing.Color Clr = object.ForeColor; System.Drawing.Color Clr = object.CtlForeColor;
VC++	OLE_COLOR Clr = object->ForeColor; OLE_COLOR Clr = object->GetForeColor();
C	HRESULT object->get_ForeColor(OLE_COLOR* Clr);

Put

VB.NET	object.ForeColor = Clr As System.Drawing.Color object.CtlForeColor = Clr As System.Drawing.Color
VB	object.ForeColor = Clr As OLE_COLOR
C#.NET	System.Drawing.Color object.ForeColor = Clr; System.Drawing.Color object.CtlForeColor = Clr;
VC++	OLE_COLOR object->ForeColor = Clr; void object->PutForeColor(OLE_COLOR Clr);
C	HRESULT object->put_ForeColor(OLE_COLOR Clr);

object

A SftButton object.

Clr

Defines the control's text color. For information about color properties, please visit the applicable section "Using SftButton/OCX with ...".

Comments

The ForeColor property defines the control's text color.

If Windows themes are used, the ForeColor property has no effect, unless UseThemes is set to 2 - Yes (Exclude Text).

The defined color is used to display the text defined using the Text property. If the button is pressed, the color ForeColorPressed is used instead. If the control is disabled (see Enabled property), the foreground color defined using the ForeColorGrayed property is used instead.

The foreground color of the drop down arrow is defined using the ForeColorDownArrow property.
