I believe not.

(Without looking at the OS code...)
Experiment with WinPaintChars which uses the current draw state (which may
be made to invert, even in color), or use WinDrawChars after playing with
the colors yourself.
WinSetForeColor(UIColorGetTableEntryIndex(UIObjectForeground));
WinSetBackColor(UIColorGetTableEntryIndex(
selected ? UIFieldTextHighlightBackground : UIFieldBackground));
