4.8.2.1 Connection
One or more color variables can be connected in the Properties dialog box of each field, depending on which
type of field is used. Fixed color settings are also entered here during the design phase.
The following image describes the color settings for a numeric input field. Other fields are connected similarly.
A variable can be connected in the Source input field located under Colors Variable. If the control variable name
is known, then it can be entered directly or chosen from a list by clicking the Assign... button.
The connected variable must be of data type UINT.
If the variable is not present during runtime, then the colors set in the configuration dialog box are used.
4.8.2.2 Color Variable Structure
Two pieces of color information are stored in a color variable simultaneously: The foreground color and
background color for the affected field (or part of it). Colors can be assigned to the corresponding setting in the
dialog box.
