Description

To provide more visual feedback about the mouse cursor location, you can define a color for the tab or button when the mouse cursor rest on it.

TabEx Widget

For the TabEx widget, it is only applicable if the Tab Colors property has a color value. This is most useful if you have defined a single color for all the tabs using Tab Colors, rather than a list of different colors.

Using in ProcScript

You can use $properties or $fieldproperties to set or get the property and its value. For more information, see $properties and $fieldproperties.

$fieldproperties(FLD) = "="

The following code example builds a list of the tab color properties and assigns them to the TAB field:

vProperties = "" ; string variable to contain the list of widget properties 
vProperties = "" ; string variable
putitem/id vProperties,"tabcolors","lightsteelblue1"
putitem/id vProperties,"backcolorselect","lightgoldenrod"
putitem/id vProperties,"backcolorhover","lightyellow1"
$fieldproperties(TAB) = vProperties

The resulting widget shows the General tab is active, but the mouse cursor is over the Presentation tab, so its color is light yellow:
