the Ad, the setting for one or more forms, an example of using a HighLighter

HighLighter component that provides illumination of the active control on the form.

Ad

To use HighLighter in the project must be a reference to the Assembly ICSSoft.STORMNET.Windows.Forms.AdditionalControls

In brackets programmer CustomMembers to place the code:

// Declare HighLighter'and HL 
ICSSoft.STORMNET.Windows.Forms.HighLighter HL;

In the constructor of the dependent form:

// Create object 
HL = new ICSSoft.STORMNET.Windows.Forms.HighLighter(this);

// Set the illumination color 
HL.HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(150, 255, 150);

In the designer, independent shape:

// Create object 
HL = new ICSSoft.STORMNET.Windows.Forms.HighLighter(form);

// Set the illumination color 
HL.HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(150, 255, 150);

You can also set the backlight to several forms at once. This requires the following:

• At the beginning of the application to subscribe to the load event of the form by Desktop.GlobalWinformEvents.Load.
• To define the list changingFormTypes, which records types of forms for which you want to organize the lighting.
• In the handler, turn on the backlight.

The setting is done in the application.

Example

 [AccessType(ICSSoft.STORMNET.AccessType.none)]
 public class TestStandWinformsDesktop : ICSSoft.STORMNET.Windows.Forms.Desktop
    {
        
        ...
        
        // *** Start programmer edit section *** (TestStandWinformsDesktop CustomMembers) 
        /// <summary> 
        /// The list of forms that are configured for illumination and the transition to Enter. 
        /// </summary> 
        private static List<Type> changingFormTypes = new List<Type>()
            {
                typeof(IIS.TestStandWinforms.WinformДомHighLighter),
                
            };

        /// <summary> 
        /// Handler for the load event of the form. 
        /// Subscribes the necessary forms on the backlight. 
        /// </summary> 
        /// <param name="sender">Originator of the event form.</param> 
        /// <param name="e">event Parameters.</param> 
        static void GlobalWinformEvents_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (changingFormTypes.Contains(sender.GetType()))
            {
                Form currentForm = (Form)sender;
                ICSSoft.STORMNET.Windows.Forms.HighLighter HL;
                // Create object 
                HL = new ICSSoft.STORMNET.Windows.Forms.HighLighter(currentForm);
                HL.SubscribeHighliterManually();

                // Set the illumination color 
                HL.HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(150, 255, 150);
            }
        }

        // *** End programmer edit section *** (TestStandWinformsDesktop CustomMembers) 

        ...

 [STAThread()]
 static void Main()
 {
    try
    {
         // *** Start programmer edit section *** (TestStandWinforms Before authorization) 
         // Subscribe to the download form. 
         Desktop.GlobalWinformEvents.Load -= GlobalWinformEvents_Load;
         Desktop.GlobalWinformEvents.Load += GlobalWinformEvents_Load;

         ...
         // *** End programmer edit section *** (TestStandWinforms Before authorization) 
     ...
    }
 }

HighLighter subscribes to the events OnGotFocus and OnLostFocus form objects and change their property BackColor on your back and when it is triggered.
