Summary
Returns all child objects of port objects whose Text Color property complies with the Query.
Syntax
Object_TextColor(Parent) : Numeric_String
Object_TextColor(Parent) : Number
The color corresponding to a particular number can be deduced from the following relationship:
65536 * Blue + 256 * Green + Red
where the Blue, Green, and Red components each have a value between 0 and 255 (inclusive).
When the Object_TextColor keyword can be used in conjunction with a Number, it is possible to individually evaluate the values of each of the Text Color property's Blue, Green, and Red components, by using the following constructs:
- Blue = Text Color Div 65536
- Green = Text Color Div 256 Mod 256
- Red = Text Color Mod 256
Example Usage
Object_TextColor(Parent) = '0'
Object_TextColor(Parent) <> '' && Object_TextColor(Parent) = 0
Returns all child objects of port objects whose Text Color property is 0 (which corresponds to values of Blue = 0, Green = 0, and Red = 0).
Object_TextColor(Parent) = '32896'
Object_TextColor(Parent) > '' && Object_TextColor(Parent) = 32896
Returns all child objects of port objects whose Text Color property is 32896 (which corresponds to values of Blue = 0, Green = 128, and Red = 128).
Object_TextColor(Parent) <> '16777215'
Returns all objects except child objects of port objects whose Text Color property is 16777215 (which corresponds to values of Blue = 255, Green = 255, and Red = 255).
Object_ObjectKind(Parent) = 'Port' && Object_TextColor(Parent) <> 16777215
Returns all child objects of port objects whose Text Color property is not 16777215.
Object_TextColor(Parent) > '' && Object_TextColor(Parent) Div 65536 >= 96 && Object_TextColor(Parent) Div 256 Mod 256 Between 64 And 192 && Object_TextColor(Parent) Mod 256 <= 128
Returns all child objects of port objects whose Text Color property is such that the Blue component has a value which is greater than or equal to 96, the Green component has a value which is greater than or equal to 64 and less than or equal to 192, and the Red component has a value which is less than or equal to 128.
Object_ObjectKind(Parent) = 'Port' && Object_TextColor(Parent) Mod 256 Between 64 And 192
Returns all child objects of port objects whose Text Color property's Red component has a value which is greater than or equal to 64 and less than or equal to 192.
Tips
- The Text Color property is defined for harness entry, note, port, sheet entry, and text frame objects, but only port objects can have children that are returnable by this expression.
