MSP 2003: get color property of a task's name

[Gary Schneider]

Hi all,

I need to know the text property (e.g. color) of a task's name (in the
Gantt view). I found some hints of how to get the BOLD property by some
workaround, but how can I find out the color?

Best Regards and TIA
Gary

Gary,
Font properties are write only for Project VBA. The only way you can get
font property information is via indirect method. For example, if all
tasks that are behind schedule (i.e. Start > Baseline Start) are colored
red, then use VBA to "look" for the criteria that caused the red font.
Normally this indirect method works fine unless the user used a totally
random method when setting font characteristics - some users do - they
just like color.
