Description

The FillSymbol used by the ControlsNewCircleTool, ControlsNewEllipseTool, ControlsNewPolygonTool, ControlsNewRectangleTool and the IHookActions methods. By default the IFillSymbol::Color is yellow and the IFillSymbol::Outline is black with a width of 1.

The IFillSymbol::Color and IFillSymbol::Outline return clones, so to change the default color and outline set an IColor object into IFillSymbol::Color and an ILineSymbol into IFillSymbol::Outline.

[C#] 

//Get the IGraphicProperties interface
IGraphicProperties graphicProperties = new CommandsEnvironmentClass();
//Get the IRgbColor interface
IRgbColor color = new RgbColorClass();
//Set the color to be red ((Red) + (Green * 256) + (Blue * 256 * 256))
color.RGB = 255;
//Get the ISimpleLineSymbol interface
ISimpleLineSymbol outline = (ISimpleLineSymbol) graphicProperties.FillSymbol.Outline;
//Set the color and width
outline.Color = color;
outline.Width = 3;

//Set the FillSymbol's color and outline
graphicProperties.FillSymbol.Color = color;
graphicProperties.FillSymbol.Outline = outline;
