Thank you for the reply, however that wasn't my question...

 

I've narrowed it down a bit... hopefully this will help.  When I click on the "color" button without using the drop-down to select a color (i.e. red by default), the style applied is 'red' (i.e. named color), not '#FF0000' (numeric).  After I select the same red color from the dropdown, the style is '#FF0000'.  Once the selection is made, the rest of the styles are "numeric"/RGB...  It's just that very first time, it is the word 'red'.

Is that initial value configurable at all, or is it hard-coded somewhere inside the DLL?  E.g. can I bring the control up with that button having some other color by default, instead of red?

 

Thanks again.
