Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets the text (foreground) color for a cell.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property ForeColor As Color
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As Cell
Dim value As Color
 
instance.ForeColor = value
 
value = instance.ForeColor
C# 
public Color ForeColor {get; set;}

Property Value

Color object containing the text color of the cell

Remarks

The setting for this property can be overridden if a named style is assigned to the cell using the the StyleName property, and that named style sets the text color.

When cells are locked with the Lock and Protect properties, the value of the SheetView.LockForeColor property overrides the value of this property.

If you use this property to retrieve the text color for a range of cells that do not have the same text color, the text color for the active cell is returned.

If you are working with button cells, use the CellType.ButtonCellType.ButtonColor property to specify the color of the text in the buttons.

Specify the background color for the cell by setting the BackColor property.

Example

This example generates random background and foreground colors and assigns them to the cells in the sheet.
C#Copy Code
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Cell acell;
int i, j;
int iColorR = 0;
int iColorG = 0;
int iColorB = 0;

fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.RowCount = 20;
acell = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0];
for (i = 0; i <= fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.RowCount - 1; i++)

     for (j = 0; j<= fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.ColumnCount - 1; j++)
     {
          acell = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[i, j];

          acell.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(iColorB, iColorR, iColorG);
          iColorR = rand.Next(0, 255);
          iColorG = rand.Next(0, 255);
          iColorB = rand.Next(0,255);
     }
