backColor

Type: Integer

Availability: Read or write at any time

The backColor property of the JadeSkinArea class contains the global background color of the area if the inner image is not defined or it is not a brush. The default value of Default_Color for this property means that the defined value of the Window class backColor property is used, subject to the following rules.

The rules for the backColor of a form are:

• If the form has a JadeSkinForm skin set, the JadeSkinForm.backColor value is not Default_Color, and the backColor of the form is 3D Face, the backColor value of the skin is used.

• If the above does not apply, the backColor value of the form is used.

The rules for the backColor of a control are:

• If the control is transparent, the background area of the control is not erased and backColor is ignored.

• If the backColor of the control is set to Default_Color, the effective backColor of the first parent whose backColor is not Default_Color is used, regardless of whether a skin is applied.

• If the control has its default backColor value set or if the skin was individually set on the control, as shown in the following example.

  label1.setSkin(myJadeSkinLabel);

• If the control has a skin and the backColor of the skin is not Default_Color, the backColor of the skin is used.

• If the default backColor of the control is 3D Face, the control is not a button or browse button, and the form has a JadeSkinForm skin set, the JadeSkinForm.backColor value is used unless its value is Default_Color.

• If either of the above does not apply, the backColor value of the control is used.
