What system color to use to highlight required fields in delphi/windows
In Delphi for Windows, you can use the system color clInfoBk
to highlight required fields. The clInfoBk
color represents the background color used for informational messages in the system.
To apply the clInfoBk
color to highlight required fields, you can set the background color of the corresponding visual control or component to clInfoBk
. Here's an example using a TEdit
control:
delphiEdit1.Color := clInfoBk;
By setting the Color
property of the TEdit
control to clInfoBk
, the background color will be changed to the system-defined color used for informational messages.
You can apply the same principle to other visual controls or components, such as TMemo
, TComboBox
, or custom controls, by setting their Color
property to clInfoBk
.
Note that the exact appearance of the clInfoBk
color may vary depending on the Windows theme and user settings. It is recommended to test the color on the target system to ensure it provides sufficient visual distinction for highlighting required fields.
