Sets the fill color for an object, or retrieves a value representing the current fill color.
This function applies to the selected object,
which is typically the last placed object. By using the
PageSelectFirstObject() and
PageSelectNextObject() functions,
you can access your objects, and change or read their
properties.
Syntax
AttributeFillOffColourEx(FillColour)
FillColour:
An RGB value.
Return Value
If retrieving the current fill color, an RGB value. If applying a fill color, 0 (zero) if successful. In both cases, an error is returned if unsuccessful. If values are out of range on writing to the attribute, the function will exit and report the error E_INVALIDARG. If there is no active object, they will exit and report a return value of E_HANDLE.
Note: For details on handling return and error values, see Error Handling.
