The TPen->Mode property does not
seem to have any effect on TextOut() function.
Is it possible to write text with
pmNot (inverse of canvas color) option?
(TFont does not have mode member.)

//::StrokeAndFillPath(PaintBox1->Canvas->Handle);
::FillPath(PaintBox1->Canvas->Handle);

This will give you the height and width of the text you want to paste.
Then you create a TRect and use FillRect (which uses the BRUSH not the
pen). Then set the font color to whatever 'inverse' color you want. I
know there are other ways of doing it. However it's been numerous years
since I've played with TCanvas proprerties etc.

Hi Harish,
You can do this by using an intermediate bitmap. Have a look at the
following post...
