TOPIC:

Create a free text annotation (type 3) using AddAnnotEditBox

The colour sets OK but cannot be read back using GetFillColor() which always returns zero. Instead it can be read using using GetStrokeColor().

This seems to be a bug, as the text appears filled, not stroked.

Also, setting the colour of a free text annotation does not seem to work. The first time you try (using SetFillColor or SetStrokColor) nothing happens. The second time you try, the annotation vanishes.

there no interfaces to set text color, after annotation added.
SetStrokeColor applied to Border of TextBox.
SetFillColor applied to background of TextBox.

about text gone: it fixed, plz wait next version.

The new version 2.9.8beta2 fixes your issue.

Thank you. I am going to go with deleting and re-creating the annotation to make the re-colouring behaviour work.
