Comment #1 on issue 368 by t4769_a... at ...2320...: .ForeGround not accepting  
color constants - Gambas 3.3.4

further info . . .

I have a work around. I converted all the colours to numbers and came up  
with this

   ' set the foreground colour for the taglines and date/time
   lblMonthTime.ForeGround = Choose(Settings["StartUp/LabelColour", "4"],
     "0", "16711680", "65280", "16776960",
     "255", "16711935", "65535", "16777215")

It isn't elegant but it works.

FYI --- My program grabs a different full form image with each startup.  
Sometimes the image colours do not contrast enough with the label text so I  
came up with a few colours to change.

Also, I have a duplicate of the code that doesn't work in another form in  
the program and it works as expected.

I tried selecting all and pasting the code and controls onto another form  
but it didn't work.

Hope this helps.
