CharacterPropertiesBase.ForeColor Property

Gets or sets the foreground color of characters.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

Color? ForeColor { get; set; }

VB.NET

Property ForeColor As Color?

Property Value

Type	Description
Nullable<Color>	A Color value representing the foreground color, or null for a mixture of values.

Remarks

Use the CharacterProperties interface to change character formatting.

If the CharacterPropertiesBase.ForeColor is not set explicitly, the AppearanceObject.ForeColor property value is in effect. Modification of the ForeColor applies changes to the CharacterPropertiesBase.ForeColor property of characters with an unspecified foreground color.

Important

The semi-transparent alpha component (i.e. the Color’s alpha parameter set to value less than 255) is reset to opaque (255) during rendering and export.
