Applies the "off" color to the selected text, or retrieves the current font color setting.
Syntax
AttributeTextOffColourEx(TextColour)
TextColour:
An RGB value.
Return Value
If retrieving the current font color, an RGB value. If applying a particular font 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 text object, these functions throw an exception with a return value of E_HANDLE.
