Color (Colorlist)

This Color component defines the value of a color associated with the Colorlist.

The intensity of a color ranges from 0-255, with 0 being the darkest. All of the colors consist of three details: Red, Green, and Blue.< The default value for all three colors is 0. Leaving all the colors at their default value creates black. Setting all three to 255 creates white. Color values can be combined to create additional colors. For example, combining red and green while leaving blue at 0 creates yellow. Combining red and blue, while leaving green at 0 creates purple.

If you use the Color component to define colors, then the software uses the default colors of Black, Green, Blue, and Red (in that order).

  1. Red = “0”, Green = “0”, Blue = “0”
  2. Red = “0”, Green = “160”, Blue = “0”
  3. Red = “0”, Green = “0”, Blue = “255”
  4. Red = “255”, Green = “0”, Blue = “0”

Both default and defined colors are associated with the Color field detail of a Cell component. The field selected in the Color field detail is used to drive the color of the text displayed in the table.

If the list of options contains more values than the list of default or defined colors, then the final color in the list (Red in the default list) is used for all of the additional options.

Context

Context consists of the records that provide the source data and target data for the task executed by a component. The Main record and Secondary record Component Details display the names of the database tables that contain these records.

For this Color component, the Main record and Secondary record values are the same as those detail values in the parent Table.

Main record
(Readonly). The database table containing the record that provides the target data.
Secondary record
(Readonly). The database table containing the record that provides the source data.
