Background Color Highlight (Question Design Controls property)

Scope

• Book Page content object > Connection object > Design Controls > Background Color Highlight property

Purpose

In this example of a Connection question, the Background Color Highlight is set to turquoise, and the user is hovering the cursor over the VA21 question object

With a Connection question, the user is required to click on a 'Question' in a list on the left, and then click on a corresponding 'Answer' in a list on the right, to draw a connecting line between them. This property is used to specify the color with which a Question or Answer control should be filled when the user either hovers the cursor pointer over the object or clicks on it to select it (before the connection is made - the color is reset back to the Background Color when the connection is made).

Use

You can either click on the colored square to the left of the property field (which shows the current color) and select or specify the required color in the Color Chooser dialog box, or you can enter the RGB hexadecimal color code directly into the property field. Alternatively, you can click on the checkered square on the left of the property field to set the background color to transparent.
