Color

Property Type: Static

Web Browsers and System Colors

Colors selected from the System tab (see image below), of the color chooser, may not display exactly as shown in the Form Designer when a form is viewed in a browser.

System color mapping occurs server side which means if these colors are used, the server theme colors will be sent down to the client.

System colors defined in CSS2 are very unreliable, and indeed, deprecated in CSS 2.1.

A web system color can be forced on the browser by prefixing the system color name with "!", in a rule, for example the rule:

="!ActiveBorder"

This will cause the system color ActiveBorder to be sent all the way to the browser.

To Change the Default Value

Ensure the property is a static property (the gray orb  will be displayed alongside the property name)

The default value of the static property can be changed by one of the following methods:

• Using the Color Chooser.
  1. Click in the property for the control to be changed
  2. Click the drop down list at the end of the property value field
  3. Select the color tab to use (Custom or Web)

     

  4. Select the required color from the list.
• Typing the Color name or Hexadecimal value.
  1. Click in the property for the control to be changed
  2. Type the name of the color or it's hexadecimal value directly into the property field.

Examples

A rule can also be built for this property by changing the type to dynamic.
