The GetTextColor function retrieves the current text color. The text color is the foreground color of characters drawn by using the graphics device interface (GDI) text-output functions.
hdc
Identifies the device context.
The return value specifies the current text color as a red, green, blue (RGB) color value, if the function is successful.
The following example sets the text color to red if the GetTextColor function determines that the current text color is black:
DWORD dwColor;
dwColor = GetTextColor(hdc);
if (dwColor == RGB(0, 0, 0)) /* if current color is black */
SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(255, 0, 0)); /* sets color to red */
