Sets the lowlight color applied to the 3D effects raised, lowered or embossed, or retrieves the current lowlight color setting.
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
AttributeLoLightOnColourEx(LoLightColour)
LoLightColour:
An RGB value.
Return Value
If retrieving the current lowlight color setting, an RGB value. If applying a lowlight 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 exits and reports the error E_INVALIDARG. If there is no active object, they exit and report a return value of E_HANDLE.
Note: For details on handling return and error values, see Error Handling.
