I have a form with a "Print" button to send the image to the printer
(BTW, customer loves that function!).
The form color is 'ScrollBar' that shows as grey on their laser printer.
What I'm trying to do in the Print EEP below is to change the form color to white just before printing (that works fine) and then change the form
color back to the ScrollBar color that I obtain in the GETPROPERTY - see
EEP below. The problem is that the form color turns out to be a dark
green rather than the original ScrollBar.
I've tried defining vFormColor (in the command file before the form is opened) as both text and integer (it has a text value of -2147483648) and tried with and without quotes around the .vFormColor in the PROPERTY command.
What am I missing? Are the form colors limited to the named colors listed in the RDOCS PROPERTY command?
TIA, Doug
