    ForeColor Property (Appearance)
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets the text color of an object.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Property ForeColor As Color
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As Appearance
    Dim value As Color
     
    instance.ForeColor = value
     
    value = instance.ForeColor
    public Color ForeColor {get; set;}

    Property Value

    Color object containing the text color
    Remarks

    The setting for this property can be overridden if a named style is assigned to the cell using the the StyleName property, and that named style sets the text color.

    When cells are locked with the Lock and Protect properties, the value of the SheetView.LockForeColor property overrides the value of this property.

    If you use this property to retrieve the text color for a range of cells that do not have the same text color, the text color for the active cell is returned.

    If you are working with button cells, use the CellType.ButtonCellType.ButtonColor property to specify the color of the text in the buttons.

    Specify the background color for the cell by setting the BackColor property.

    Example
    This example illustrates the use of this property. An Appearance object is used to set up the behavior for a StyleInfo object.
    FarPoint.Win.Spread.Appearance appr = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Appearance();
    FarPoint.Win.Spread.StyleInfo si = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.StyleInfo();
    appr.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
    appr.DrawPrimaryButton = false;
    appr.DrawSecondaryButton = false;
    appr.Font = new Font("Comic Sans MS", 10);
    appr.ForeColor = Color.DarkBlue;
    appr.HorizontalAlignment = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellHorizontalAlignment.Right;
    appr.VerticalAlignment = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellVerticalAlignment.Bottom;
    si.SetAppearance(appr);
    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetStyleInfo(0, 0, si);
    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].Text = "Apprearance Test";
    
    Dim appr As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.Appearance
    Dim si As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.StyleInfo
    appr.BackColor = Color.Yellow
    appr.DrawPrimaryButton = False
    appr.DrawSecondaryButton = False
    appr.Font = New Font("Comic Sans MS", 10)
    appr.ForeColor = Color.DarkBlue
    appr.HorizontalAlignment = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellHorizontalAlignment.Right
    appr.VerticalAlignment = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellVerticalAlignment.Bottom
    si.SetAppearance(appr)
    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.SetStyleInfo(0, 0, si)
    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0).Text = "Apprearance Test"
