SolidColorBrush sb = new SolidColorBrush(); sb.Color = Color.FromRGB( r, g, b ); myTextBlock.Foreground = sb; There is a couple more static Color methods that you can use like Color.FromARGB() as well. you can also do this if you want a custom color.

SolidColorBrush sb = new SolidColorBrush();
sb.Color = Color.FromRGB( r, g, b );

myTextBlock.Foreground = sb;

same is true of the damned font color – it’s ridiculous that so many people will have initial problems with it; what would it hurt to include FontColor as an attribute (or COLOR or an intuitive FOREGROUND = ‘Green’)???

i’m guessing the best way to set color is setting the FOREGROUND to a brush.

how extremely intuitive.

for one person.

then there’s the rest of the world.

that stuff drives me crazy.

fix it at the source – just extend to allow setting of FontColor.
