TEXT.backgroundColor

The backgroundColor attribute specifies or retrieves the background color for the Text control.

Syntax

Possible Values

This attribute is a read/write String containing any Microsoft Internet Explorer color value or the value "none". It has a default value of "none", which means the background is transparent.

Remarks

The background color is set for the height and width of the control. If height and width are not set, the background color is set to the height and width of the text.

When you use alphaBlend or alphaBlendTo with a TEXT element that does not have the backgroundColor specified, a background color of black will be used. If the foreground color is also black (which is the default value for the foregroundColor attribute), your text may become unreadable. In order to prevent this, always specify the backgroundColor attribute, or set foregroundColor to a color other than black.

Example

See the value attribute for a sample illustrating how the attributes of the TEXT element are used.

Requirements

Windows Media Player version 7.0 or later.
