ProtectedColor (Screen property)

Set color for protected screen fields (Screen class)

The ProtectedColor property sets or gets the current default for the color of protected fields in a Screen object. A protected field is assigned this color unless another color value is explicitly specified in the AddField statement that defines the field.

An unprotected field's color can be changed by the Color method.
