What does this function do in Visual Foxpro? - visual-foxpro

What does the getcolor() function do? It returns some random number for me. Even does the color change with this function.

From the (Visual Foxpro 9) help file:
Displays the Windows Color dialog box and returns the color number of
the chosen color. GETCOLOR([nDefaultColorNumber])
Parameters nDefaultColorNumber
Specifies the color that is initially selected when the Color dialog
box is displayed. If nDefaultColorNumber doesn't correspond to a color
in the Color dialog box, the first color in the Color dialog box is
selected. If you omit nDefaultColorNumber, black is selected.

VS – how to change code completion pop-up foreground

How can one change foreground (text color) of code completion box items while Fonts and Colors do not allow this?
If you want this change you can count on that it’s little bit tricky such it will affect other (more) items. So foreground will be changed in other undesired places.
Steps:
Install Color Theme Editor for Visual Studio.
In theme editor use Show All Elements toggle.
Find Environment ⟶ CommandBarTextActive.
Change color as you wish.

Changing background colors of table cells (Visual Studio Reports 2008)

I have a report in Visual Studio Reports 2008.
I created datasets to select values from ReportParameter (Place).
Selected data from ReportParameter (Place) is used for displaying the report.
How can i change background color of table cells which equals to selected value from ReportParameter (Place)?
This is easily done by setting the Background property on the cells you wish to highlight.
While in design mode, select the cells you want to highlight. In the Properties pane, look for the Background property, and set the Expression to something like the following.
=IIf(Fields!Place.Value = Parameters!Place.Value, "Yellow", "White")
The field name will vary, depending on what you have named yours. This checks to see if the current Place value is equal to the selected parameter value, and sets the Background to Yellow if they match, White if they do not.
This should work in any version of SSRS.

How to change terminal font color in PyCharm?

I want to set my terminal color scheme, such that I will have black text on light background (white or light yellow for example).
I changed "Console Colors" settings, such as Background, Standard output, and System output, under Editor > Colors & Fonts > Console Colors, but I keep running into the same problem.
If I change Background color to let's say white. It also changes text (Standard output and my user input to the same color). I can't figure out, which setting controls the color of the font, which appears in the terminal window. In fact, it appears that font color is the same as background color, which is confusing to me. I would expect to be able to independently control background color, and font color, which to me represents "Foreground".

Changing colour in
Preferences->Editor->Color Scheme->Console Colors->Standard Output
should change the terminal font's colour.
I suppose it happened on Windows. If yes then it is affected/controlled by Windows registry. Try one of the following method:
Open Windows cmd and from drop down menu selects defaults. Then change the Text and Background colors to match your choice in PyCharm. The problem occurs if you have different color settings in Windows cmd instead of default.
Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console key from Windows registry.

Change text color for Selected Text in Visual Studio [duplicate]

I can't edit selected text foreground color in Visual Studio 2010. Anyone know how to do this?
In the Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors dialog you can choose Selected Text in the Display Items listbox, but this only allows you to change the Item background property.
How does one change the text color, so that for example I can have white text on a blue background when I select an item? Also, is there a way to bold the text (the Bold box is disabled also).
Note: Here is the question that asks about the background color change.
The foreground color in the VS2010 editor is not set in one place but in many within the Options Form. If you have Resharper installed it also sets some foreground properties. The reason VS2010 does this is to allow individual items (words) within the foreground to express different colors depending on their type (e.g. comments, value types, enums etc.) even when they are selected. In other words VS2010 applies a priority to the foreground color for these specific types over the generic selected text color format.
For instance, when you look at the Fonts and Colors dialog you will notice the entry for User Types. On my VS2010 its RGB value is RGB(43, 145, 175) which looks like teal. If I change that color to Red, the User Types on my editor's foreground color changes to Red and remains Red even when with the selection area.
In some instances VS2010 will override the foreground color such as applying a breakpoint to a line. On my VS2010 enabled breakpoints when in editing mode have a white foreground color, regardless of the terms in the line.
To answer your question of how one would change the foreground color for all selected text, VS2010 does not support this out of the box.
I wrote a VS2010 Extension as outlined here. I used the example code as is and added the lines:
selectedText[EditorFormatDefinition.ForegroundBrushId] = Brushes.Green;
formatMap.SetProperties("Selected Text", selectedText);
...but this did not change the foreground color of selected text to green. It stayed black. This is probably due to the VS2010 WPF editor using a Priority Order for each format and one or more other formats overriding the selected text foreground color.
Have you tried setting the colors on the 'Highlighted Reference' option in the Fonts and Colors window?
There is no individual setting for the Selected Text Foreground properties, it uses the Plain Text Settings for the Foreground in the Options Form, but this will only work for normal text, the Foreground colors for Properties, Comments and other specialty colored text will remain the same, there is no overriding Foreground color that can be used for all items.
