Background Color property
The Background Color property field, which is display-only, indicates the background color on which the data for a form or a component displays. The "color" can be either of these:
- A single, solid color, with or without transparency
- A pair of colors used for a linear gradient, with each color having its own color and transparency settings
This field displays the current value of the Background Color property:
| If the field display is: | It means that: |
|---|---|
| Blank | No background color has been set. |
| An RGB value (such as 12, 127, 242) | A single, solid color has been set using the Color attribute. |
| V( bgc_Form) | The background color was set for the form using the Background Color attribute settings on the Form properties sheet. |
| V( bgc_ componentName ) | The background color was set for a component, using the Background Color attribute settings on the Component properties sheet. |
| V( gbgc_ colorDefName ) | The background color was set using a global background color definition variable created in the Edit Color dialog box. In this case, colorDefName is the name assigned to the color definition variable in the Enter a Name for the Background Color dialog box when the definition is created or updated. |
To see the effects of changing the background color, you might need to regenerate the form.
