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:
Due to consistency constraints imposed by Windows, the specified
setting may not be effective for particular dialog element types, depending on
the version of Windows in use and whether visual themes are enabled.
