Description
The video attributes defined with $ACTIVE_FIELD are enabled only for fields whose Cursor Video property is selected.
The attributes set with $ACTIVE_FIELD take precedence over those set with $DEF_CUROCC_VIDEO and $CUROCC_VIDEO.
Note: By default, video attributes set with the
ProcScript instruction $fieldvideo or fieldvideo override the
attributes set by $ACTIVE_FIELD. To have $ACTIVE_FIELD take
precedence, set the $ACTIVE_FIELD_FIRST assignment setting to
true.
Using $ACTIVE_FIELD
To highlight the active field with the system
highlight color, use the HLT attribute:
$ACTIVE_FIELD = HLT
To make the active field appear with white letters on a blue background, determine the color number by adding 56 (white foreground) and 1 (blue background):
$ACTIVE_FIELD COL=57
