[SOLVED] TRichMemo and text colour

[MarkMLl]

I tried to modify AddRichText.
I have an issue with ABackgroundColour = clDefault - I cannot get the actual colour of the RichMemo.
The ARichMemo.Colour returns clDefault.
I tried with Brush, etc, I still do not get the actual background colour of the RichMemo. Any ideas?

I don't think this is really related to the remainder of this thread, other than that

...that might depend on the widget set.

I suggest starting a separate thread, with a title that specifically asks how to recover the /actual/ colour of something identified as one of the "specials", i.e. clDefault etc.

However my own suspicion is that this will be heavily dependent on the widget set, including obviously the extent to which a control is implemented by an underlying widget rather than being lovingly handcrafted.
