Setting colour for RichTextCtrl default text.

[Steve Cookson]

Hi,

I have an RTC on a dark background with the default text colour set to
light.  I over-ride these and set the background RTC colour to white with:

    my $RTC = Wx::RichTextCtrl->new($self,-1,'',[-1,-1]$size);
    $RTC->SetBackgroundColour(wxWHITE);

which works perfectly, but the corresponding effort to set the text colour
to black with:

    $RTC->SetForegroundColour(wxBLACK);

does not work.

I've tried a number of other ways without success, eg:

    my $RTC_Attr = Wx::RichTextAttr->new();
    $RTC_Attr -> SetTextColour(wxBLACK);
    $RTC -> SetDefaultStyle($RTC_Attr );    

Which also doesn't work because it wants a range.  It's not clear to me how
to set the basic text colour of the RTC control.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Regards

Steve
