Ext. Color Type attribute, Background Color property

This attribute specifies what type of extended color settings are being used for the background color of the form or component:

  • None: (Default) Indicates that no extended color settings are being used. In this case, the background color is either at the default system setting or it is a single RGB color with no transparency. Selecting this option disables all the other "Ext. Color" attributes.
  • Color: Indicates that a single (extended) color is being applied, and that transparency (alpha) settings are also available. Because it is a single color, only the Ext. Color 0 settings are used.
  • Gradient: Indicates that a linear gradient is being applied, and that each extended color has its own possible transparency (alpha) setting. Ext. Color 0 is the starting color, and Ext. Color 1 is the ending color.
