Question about plugins api - set background color

[Mikhail.Farberov]

Hello,

I'm trying to change a background color of active edit via API calls. I cant use configuration (Preferences->Appearance) because I have more complex criteria to select current color.

I think, I should call IDE_GetEditorHandle and use this handle to change background color of edit control. But how to do it properly?

I have tried to do it in different ways but all of them dont work.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think this is possible. The editor background cannot be modified with standard Windows calls.

But PL/SQL Developer modifies it on the fly when I select one for matching connection.

That is all done through code specific for the editor component, and not through standard windows calls.
