I just tried the properties with HIGHLIGHTFOCUSCOLOR and I got the same results as you. I think that may be a bug that should be reported to RBTI. I tried it in V8 and it did not work.
In the meantime could you use "COLOR" to produce the results that you are looking for? John From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J.

It works in my app. John From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J.

It works from a button, but not from the form properties AFTER START EEP. Do you have a way to make it work when the form starts?

I do something similar in one of my applications. I use the following properties: PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln COLOR 'YELLOW' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln LASTCHAR 'TRUE' RETURN John From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J. Sinclair Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 7:11 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Cant get PROPERTY <ComponentID> HIGHLIGHTFOCUS 'TRUE' to work Hi again, After much trial, and mostly error, I think I have what I need to make my form do what I want it do, EXCEPT.... PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln LASTCHAR 'TRUE' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln HIGHLIGHTFOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln HIGHLIGHTFOCUSCOLOR 'YELLOW' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' RETURN I put the above statements in my AFTER START EEP. The only field I have on the form is a variable edit with a componenit id of id_key_stroke_ln When I start the form, I am in the field, with a blinking cursor, but it is white, not yellow. What am I doing wrong? Mike
