Change the text color of an EpiShape control

I added an EpiShape control in a Dashboard and I need to change the color of it. I thought it would have been the ForeColor property but it doesn’t work. Black is readable for the StatusTypes.OK status but for the StatusTypes.Stop color (red), it’s hard to read and I would prefer to set the text to white

Tried to go in the Object Explorer to see if there are other properties but haven’t found anything yet

The only way I found is to use the StatusTypes.Warning status to make it yellow but I’m still curious to know if I can control the text color !

EpiShape1.Status =(Ice.Lib.Framework.StatusTypes)4;
EpiShape1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;//System.Drawing.Color
EpiShape1.Appearance.BackColor2 = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
EpiShape1.EnabledCaption=“样板PO”;
EpiShape1.Enabled=true;

Not sure what is changing the text color in there ? It works since the text color is white on a red background but just by curiosity, is it possible to just change the text color with this?

You could try this. (I haven’t actually tried it, I just see that it’s available.)

YourShape.Appearance.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
