| | I have a user that requested that I highlight an input field to light yellow. How would I do this?  I use the inverse toggle to highlight but this has no choice to switch colors. I reviewed the color info on fptech help but can't see how to toggle to a different color.  I run fp 5.0.13 on Centos 5.  They use kermit95 to hit the box.

| Well, that's probably not possible, but perhaps this snippet of code 
| (from Bob Stockler) might be useful to you.  I've got it set to 
| operate on every input field, but obviously you could just use it for 
| particular fields:
| 
| 	@wef*::gosub hilite;end:
| 	@wlf*::gosub lolite;end:
| 	hilite::show(@ro, at co) "\r"&fieldval(-, at fd)&"\r";return:
| 	lolite::show(@ro, at co) fieldval(-, at fd);return:
| 
| 


Whoa: that hilite/lolite code, comb ined with Doug Luur's posting on this thread, might be more like what you want, e.g:

	hilite::show(@ro, at co) "\BE"&fieldval(-, at fd)&"\B1";return:	

This works with cansi as the TERM (or PFTERM) setting, but does interact with any color choices you've made in filePro's config file.
