How to manipulate annotation text outline color in ArcEngine?

Question

I can get the color of my annotation text like this:

IColor TextColor = lpLabelEngine.Symbol.Color;

How can I get / set the outline color?

Something like this, I want a black letter with a white outline, and the white outline is 3 pixels wide.

But did a search and walla! Here are a couple of pages that might help...
