Description

ItemColor sets the color of an individual item. The color is associated with the item, and not the window or the column. When the item scrolls, the color moves with the item. To change the color of an item that is already displayed, you must follow the set statement with a page statement that names this object.

This is passed a single value representing an RGB color. Individual red, green, and blue colors are converted to a single value by using the RGB function.

Set ItemColor 3 to (rgb(255, 0, 0)) // red
 
Set ItemColor 4 to  clPurple
 
Set ItemColor 7 to clBtnFace
