Trying to set Font in VLDrawTextLayer

[Dave]

You'll have to convert the colorformat from the FontDialog from BGR to RGBA like so for example:

int red=FontDialog1->Font->Color&0x0FF;
int green=(FontDialog1->Font->Color&0x0FF00)>>8;
int blue=(FontDialog1->Font->Color&0x0FF0000)>>16;
TColor col=0x0FF000000+blue+(green<<8)+(red<<16);
VLDrawTextLayer1->Font->Brush->Color=col;

Found it.... It is MakeColor(Color) not GPMakeColor(Color ); and is in IGDIPlus.pas

This works with the int varable I store the dialogue color in...

VLDrawTextLayer1->Font->Brush->Color= MakeColor( (TColor) MyColor );

Looks like we were posting at the same time.. If I rin into any issues with the MakeColor function I'll play with the code you posted.

Looks like we got it figured out.. Thanks a Million, you got me pointed in the right direction and we both now know more than we did
