Change backcolor and forecolor of editor

Background color of the editor:

editor.Renderer.TextAreaBackColor = new SolidColorBackgroundFill(Color.White);

 Forecolor and background color of the default syntax highlighting:

editor.Document.Language.HighlightingStyles.Add(new HighlightingStyle("DefaultStyle", null, Color.Black, Color.Transparent));

Thanks.

- Error 1 Property 'TextAreaBackColor' is 'ReadOnly'. Can't change te back color.

Changing the forecolor works great.

Hello the base SyntaxEditorRenderer class defines that property as read-only.  But the implementation class we use (VisualStudio2005SyntaxEditorRenderer) has a setter.  So cast it to that.

Example? I tried myeditor = VisualStudio2005SyntaxEditorRenderer.DefaultRenderer.TextAreaBackColor.FromArgb(255,64;64;64), but that seems to be wrong.

You need to cast the render instance of your editor. And don't forget the SolidColorBackgroundFill.

Fyi, I use a static renderer instance in my app. When I create an editor, I just assign my static instance to the editor. This way all editor instances are updated simultaniously.

var renderer = editor.Renderer as VisualStudio2005SyntaxEditorRenderer;

if (null != renderer)
{
  renderer.TextAreaBackColor = new SolidColorBackgroundFill(Color.FromArgb(255,64;64;64));
}

Ah, like that. Thanks.
