For Oval, Rectangle, RoundRectangle controls

Applies to

Oval, Rectangle, RoundRectangle controls

Description

The FillColor property defines the color used to fill the control. When you are defining the background color in a painter, some of the choices take their values from the current Windows color scheme or from custom colors.

To add your own colors to the color drop-down list, select Design>Custom Colors before displaying the Properties view.

Usage

In a painter

To set the fill color:

  • Select the desired color from the Fill Color drop-down list on the General page of the control's Properties view.

In scripts

The FillColor property takes a long value (-2 to 16,777,215) that specifies the numerical value of the background color of windows and other objects. The FillColor value is a combination of values for the red, green, and blue components of the color. If you do not know the long value for the color, choose Design>Custom Colors to determine the red, green, and blue values and then call the RGB function to specify the color in a script.

This example specifies yellow as the fill color for the RoundRectangle rr_display:

rr_display.FillColor=RGB(255,255,0)
