C++ Question Sketchpad colors

[JMW]

Hi All,

Can we draw text in Sketchpad in black ?
I've tried searching and all I found was that if "black (0) is specified then SetTextColor is not called so text is printed in last specified color".....
But can we actually print in black ?
Any help appreciated.

I'm sure its possible, because I did it. Just call SetTextColor() with 0 (or you can feed it a RGB macro) and set the background color to something different (duh!), or background mode to transparent, and it should work.

You can also try setting the color to 0xFF000000 (in D3D9Client alpha is also supported). In some cases setting the color to '0' may disable it. Since it's not visible. If I recall QuickPen and QuickBrush would do that.
