color

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: hotspot-or-text-edit-pane

Hotspot: when the argument is a hotspot, returns (or sets with setf) the color in which to draw a hotspot.

Text-edit-pane: for a text-edit-pane, color returns two values: (1) an rgb object for the color of the first character in the selected range of text-edit-pane (or the character at the cursor), and (2) true if and only if the whole selection is the same color.

Again, for a text-edit-pane, (setf color) sets the color of the selected range of the argument text-edit-pane to new-value, which should be an rgb object (see make-rgb).

A text-edit-pane argument must be an instance of a text-edit-pane (which is a superclass of rich-edit-pane). It cannot be a text-edit-window or a rich-edit control (apply window to a rich-edit control to get a value suitable as an argument to this function).
