This line:
txt.Style.BackgroundColor = Color.FillColor
Generates this error message:
Type “Color” has no member named “FillColor”
txt.Style.BackgroundColor = Color.FillColor
txt is a WebTextField
What am I doing wrong?
you could add a feature request via feedback tool or use a method and return any value with Color.RGB
Or perhaps a bug report.
Just want to make sure I don’t misinterpret the language reference which states “FillColor matches the default Window Background on all platforms”
On a technical level, that note is correct. With Xojo Web, the class is WebPage not Window.
Unless you’ve changed it, the default background color of a WebPage is white &cFFFFFF.
In Web 2.0 controls all have a reference to the page they are on so in theory you can easily get the page background color with self.Page.Style.BackgroundColor (or specifically in your case txt.Style.BackgroundColor = txt.Page.Style.BackgroundColor).
This is all “in theory” because I haven’t tested it. 
Makes sense, kind of =)
I just got hung up on the phrase “all platforms”.
The workaround works btw, thanks
I’ve filed a ticket for the docs to be updated #64000 - [Documentation] Color.FillColor missing Supported Platforms section
