What I was looking at was a way to define "custom color names" that the IDE could cope with somehow. But having stepped through the IDE code and how it handles property "realValue"s I see the difficulties involved. It seems a bit of a shame actually as I think custom color names could add value to the IDE. I'm thinking color-names like ErrorBackground or ErrorForeground could be used by someone who wants to highlight all controls that failed validation on an update action on a form and things like that. Or whatever other name a developer would want to use to highlight multiple controls on a form. Nevertheless, I will work on how this could be done using our local version of the IDE in my spare time (haha!). Which means I may have to come back to you on some specific issues with the code. :-) regards Bruce -- B Bruen <bbr...@paddys-hill.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
