Syntax

'Declaration
Public Structure ColorableItemInfo
'Usage
Dim instance As ColorableItemInfo
public struct ColorableItemInfo
public value class ColorableItemInfo
JScript supports the use of structures, but not the declaration of new ones.

Remarks

Not all information returned in a ColorableItemInfo structure may be valid because the Visual Studio IDE does not always store unmodified settings from the Font and Color property page in the registry. The bForegroundValid, bBackgroundValid,and bFontFlagsValid are set to non-zero (TRUE) when the corresponding value is valid.

Rather than supplying a literal RGB value, a VSPackage may express the color values in the crForeground and crBackground members in terms of a global palette. As well as simplifying implementation, this allows colors to track certain system-wide and environment-wide values. The interpretation of these color values is controlled by flags from the __VSCOLORTYPE enumeration.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
