21.3 Highlighting Data Items

Any object may be highlighted explicitly by some mechanism in the application or by the data watcher system. The normal response to highlighting is to change some visual style.

To realize this change, a copy of the object's style is taken and passed to the relevant highlighting routines for bars, wigets, and lines. This copy of the style object may be modified to give any visual style possible for the object type. Once the temporary style has been used to paint the bar, wiget, or other item; the style is discarded. This means that such highlight changes are temporary and non-destructive.

To highlight a data item, call SetHighlight() on its style member:

The following symbols may be used with SetHighlight():

The meaning of the symbols below depends on the type of object displayed.

To modify this default behavior, override the appropriate functions.
