Text ForColor Property - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 18 years ago by ernesto

How can I get to the Editors ForColor property to change the default text color? I see it is under the SyntaxEditor Properties, but it does not show up when typing into VB.NET 2005 editor.

Is there a way of doing this from the Syntax Language file?
I did try this but did not work.


<State Key="StringState" TokenKey="StringDefaultToken" Style="StringDefaultStyle">
            <!-- Scopes -->
            <Scopes>
                <Scope>
                    <ExplicitPatternGroup Type="StartScope" TokenKey="StringStartToken" Style="StringDelimiterStyle" PatternValue="{HexDigitMacro}" />
                    <RegexPatternGroup Type="EndScope" TokenKey="StringEndToken" Style="StringDelimiterStyle" PatternValue="{LineTerminatorMacro}" IsWhitespace="True" />
                </Scope>
            </Scopes>
    </State>

thanks

The editor default forecolor is the forecolor of the style named "DefaultStyle" in whatever
language is currently loaded. A "DefaultStyle" lexical style is always available
in a language in the LexicalStates collection.

Excellent thanks

Here is the updated code for reference:


<Styles>
<Style Key="DefaultStyle" ForeColor="white" />
</Styles>

<!-- StringState-->
    <State Key="StringState" TokenKey="StringDefaultToken" Style="StringDefaultStyle">
            <!-- Scopes -->
            <Scopes>
                <Scope>
                    <ExplicitPatternGroup Type="StartScope" TokenKey="StringStartToken" Style="StringDelimiterStyle" PatternValue="{HexDigitMacro}" />
                    <RegexPatternGroup Type="EndScope" TokenKey="StringEndToken" Style="DefaultStyle" PatternValue="{LineTerminatorMacro}" IsWhitespace="True" />
                </Scope>
            </Scopes>
    </State>

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 3 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
