Is it possible to get the text color of insertion point in richtextctrl?

Hi,

In my app I need to get the text color of the current position. For example, when the user move the text cursor on a blue word the app must return the blue color.
Is there any way to do it?

Thanks in Advance.

I’m not sure and haven’t tried it, but poking around through the wxRichTextCtrl documentation–maybe this works?

my_textattribute = TextAttr() #create a blank text attributes (“textattr”) object
my_richtextctrl.GetStyle(the_current_position, my_text_attribute) # “fills” the new textattr with the style at that position.

#Now get what you want, for example:

background_color_of_selection = my_textattribute.GetBackgroundColour()

foreground_color_of_selection = my_textattribute.GetTextColour()
