How to tell a Style tag to not change ForeColor?

SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

I am changing the BackColor attribute for my syntax editor in the "BracketHighlightingStyle" style, and it works perfectly. My problem is that the ForeColor attribute defaults to "Black", and changes the ForeColor when I don't want it to. What do I have to set the ForeColor attribute to in order to get it to not change the ForeColor of the text? Thanks.

Color.Empty should do the trick.

HighlightingStyle style = new HighlightingStyle(key, name, Color.Empty, Color.Blue);
language.HighlightingStyles.Add(style);

Best regards, Tobias Lingemann.

Hi Cody,

I believe you can also pass "Default" in the XML definition to let it keep the default.

Yeah, I did it from the XML and "Default" worked perfectly. Thanks guys!

Just encountering same effect, can you elaborate (in code) where and how you do it? I tried a few things without success.

I am using the addon.xmlsyntaxlanguage.

To do it programmatically you would do:

editor.Document.Language.HighlightingStyles.Add(new HighlightingStyle("BracketHighlightingStyle", "Bracket Highlighted Text", Color.Empty, Color.Blue));

That being said, I don't think the lexer for the XML language is configured to support bracket highlighting at this time.  So it wouldn't make a difference in this case.
