ForeColor property

Returns or sets the color of the line, border, or fill of the Shape object to which the formatting applies. Colors are matched to the closest color on the MapPoint palette. Read/write GeoRGBType.

Applies to

Objects:  FillFormat, LineFormat

Syntax

object.ForeColor

Parameters

Part	Description
object	Required. An expression that returns a FillFormat or LineFormat object.

Remarks

GeoRGBType is identical to the Visual Basic MsoRGBType.

Example

  [Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0]

  Sub ChangeFillColor()

  Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
  Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map
  Dim objLoc As MapPoint.Location

  'Set up application and get a location object
  Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap
  objApp.Visible = True
  objApp.UserControl = True
  Set objLoc = objApp.ActiveMap.GetLocation(0, 0)

  'Create a shape at this location, then zoom to this location
  Set objMap.Location = objLoc
  objMap.Shapes.AddShape geoShapeOval, objLoc, 50, 30

  'Fill the shape (make fill visible), then change the fill color
  objMap.Shapes.Item(1).Fill.Visible = True
  objMap.Shapes.Item(1).Fill.ForeColor = vbRed

  End Sub
