System Parameters

'TC'=

Tip Colour

Description

Assigns the fill colour for the "tip" window.

Supported options include:

-1

Use Windows Theme.

-2

Forces tips with headers to display as floating external tips using the *tooltip program to display HTML.

See Defining an Info Tip.

-3

Use the TipColor (or TipColour) setting for non-HTML tips.

If 'TC' is set to -3 but the TipColor (or TipColour) setting is not defined, the default Windows color will be used.

(Option -3 was added in PxPlus 2021.)

If the colour code is in the range from 0 to 7, then the respective colour will be used as the fill.

If the colour code is in the range from 8 to 15, then 50% of the colour will be used, allowing any tip text entered to still be read.
