SUMMARY
There is a property in Visual FoxPro 5.0 and 6.0 called ColorSource. The ColorSource property determines how a control's colors are set and is available at both design time and run time. Most objects in Visual FoxPro 5.0 and 6.0 have a ColorSource property, but the available values for the property are different for each object.



MORE INFORMATION
The values that are available for the ColorSource property are:   0 - Object[ASCII 146]s Color Properties. The control uses its color property settings (ForeColor, BackColor, and so on).

1 - Form[ASCII 146]s Color Scheme. The control uses the color scheme of the form in which it is placed.

2 - ColorScheme Property Scheme. The control uses the color scheme specified in its ColorScheme property.

3 - Default Scheme. The control uses its default color scheme. For most controls, the default color scheme is the form[ASCII 146]s color scheme; forEditBoxes and ListBoxes, the default color scheme is Scheme 2, User Menus.
