Highlighting active field

They want the active field highlighted like Q&A use to do. I can do it with @color on element entry & exit but there are ALOT of fields. I made the cursor blink which is some help but they really want the highlight.
Any shortcuts? (I did use ThisElement so I could just copy & paste w/no extra typing)
  
So much time and so little to do . . . strike that, reverse it.

Put the following code in:

GLOBAL CODE:
Code
Select All
stat g_name as string
g_name = ""


Your form's :: On Element Entry:
Code
Select All
if(g_name <> "")
{
  SetThisElement(g_name)
  RGBColor(ThisElement, 0, 0, 0, 255, 255, 255)
  UnSetThisElement()
}
g_name = @CurrentElement()
SetThisElement(g_name)
RGBColor(ThisElement, 0, 0, 0, 200, 220, 255)
UnSetThisElement()
ForceRedraw()

Appreciate the help. Great to know I won't have to cut and paste about 200 times.

Unfortunately, it does not seem to work exactly as I expected. Once I leave the first field & click around the form the highlight lags one field behind. I pasted the code where you said and did not change anything.

Thanx again for your time

You have to change it use the colors you want to represent highlighted and not highlighted. The first RGBColor call represents the not highlighted colors.

uhhhhh, now it leaves the fields that lovely powder blue after I leave the field. However...

I just changed it back to what you had the first time and, on a hunch, tabbed around the screen. Worked beautifully. It only gets wierd when you use the mouse to CLICK around the page. That's ok, the people that will use the program usually use the keyboard to navigate anyway. (I am the only one that is click-happy)

Blessings & thanx

hmmmmmm, must be something different between 1.1.3 and 1.1.2 - it works fine for me with either mouse or keyboard.

In 1.1.2 you have to put code in the on exit / enter events for each field - unfortunately. The generic method (shown above) will work for the keyboard only in 1.1.2.

In 1.1.3 it works with both keyboard and mouse.
