TEXT.foregroundColor
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The foregroundColor attribute specifies or retrieves the text color for the Text control.
elementID.foregroundColor
Possible Values
This attribute is a read/write String containing any Microsoft Internet Explorer color value. The default value is "black".
See the value attribute for a sample illustrating how the attributes of the TEXT element are used.
When you use alphaBlend or alphaBlendTo with a TEXT element that does not have the backgroundColor specified, a background color of black will be used. If the foreground color is also black (which is the default value for the foregroundColor attribute), your text may become unreadable. To prevent this, always specify the backgroundColor attribute, or set foregroundColor to a color other than black.
