ProtectedHighlight (Screen property)

Set highlight color for protected screen fields (Screen class)

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