**GetTextColor( **//MenuTextType//** ), LONG**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| //MenuTextType// | A BYTE value representing a specific type of menu text to color. There are a series of internal equates available to easily identify these elements: |

| MenuColors:NormalText | EQUATE(1) |
| MenuColors:SelectedText | EQUATE(2) |
| MenuColors:HotText | EQUATE(3) |
| MenuColors:InactiveText | EQUATE(4) |

The **GetTextColor** method gets a color for the specified //MenuTextType//. It returns a LONG integer representing the 32-bit color used.

**Implementation:**

The method is not called anywhere within the **MenuStyleManager** Class. It is an optional method that can be used by the developer to detect and possibly change the menu text color at runtime.

**Return Data Type:**     STRING
