**SetTextColor( **//MenuTextType//** , **//TextColor//** )**

{{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) |

| //TextColor// | A LONG integer that specifies a text color to use. There are approximately 4294967296 different colors in the 32-bit library. |

The **SetTextColor** method sets a color for a specified //MenuTextType//.

**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.
