Provides a facility to define customized foreground colors. Foreground colors also refer to text.
When setting foreground colors, you have four possibilities:
Define your own color by using the FOREGROUND-COLOUR-VALUE attribute in a dialog editor Attributes window. Here, you must first set the FOREGROUND-COLOUR-NAME attribute to CUSTOM (50). A dialog box appears where you can set values for the red, green, and blue elements of your color (RGB model).
Use the FOREGROUND-COLOUR-NAME attribute and leave the value at DEFAULT (0). Your color will then be determined by your color settings in the operating system.
Use the FOREGROUND-COLOUR-NAME attribute and choose from one of the dialog editor's predefined colors. These are represented by the values 1 to 18.
Set the color dynamically in event handler code by assigning a set of three RGB values to the attribute. To do so, you must first set the FOREGROUND-COLOUR-NAME attribute to CUSTOM (50). You enter the three RGB values in hexadecimal form, such as H'FF0000'.
Note:
Under Windows, a push button control's foreground color will be
displayed as the system default at runtime, regardless of the
FOREGROUND-COLOUR-VALUE value.
