QD 22 - White Text on Black Background (15-Sept-95)

Q I've tried in vain to find a way to show white text on a black background. Is there a way to do this, and if so, how?

A The trick is to use the srcBic pen mode:

	FillRect(theRect, black); 
	PenMode(srcBic); 
	DrawString(myString);

Note that this technique is for on-screen viewing, not for printing to a PostScript printer.
