      You might have to be careful with text colour, it's likely not hexadecimal in Windows applications. Use the property checkpoint tool to see what colour it says the text is, and check for that.

        • True, I know a few months ago I was able to call out for my program to pass if it found the colors Black and white using the 0x000000, 0xFFFFFF from the TC documentation and it would pass them and block all other colors, I have not been able to get back to that for a few months and now that I am I just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. 

        Thank you all for giving me ideas this group is always helpful.
