I have a report to generate. I am using the paint object to create and I need to highlight just like somebody used a highlighter. So use the black color for the print as expected but the line the item is on should be yellow in the background making a black on yellow print for a line in the report. I know how to use the drawrichtext and set the print color to something using <font color="red"> in the item to print. But I want to leave the text color alone and make the background a different color.
I can't find anything on it, anybody know how to do it?

 You could paint a rectangle first.

There is not a RichText way to set background font color only foreground so it's not possible for something like TextLabel.Text = sSomeString.

But in a Draw event using Paint.DrawRichtext() you should be able to use Paint.FillRect() to draw your background color first.

actually it might be better to use Paint.DrawText as Paint.DrawRichText might do it's own background color

The default text color can be easily set with Paint.Background,
Paint.Background = Color.Red is the same as Paint.Brush = Paint.Color(Color.Red)

:? …but by using Paint.DrawRichText():

I just drew a rectangle with color first in the same place as the text, then the text. It works just needs an extra step
