Protected fields are printed in dimmed mode. If, however, the characters are already in a dark color, the driver will display the field in a bright color to contrast protected with unprotected characters. Therefore, a protected field appears in a bright color if a dark color is used in the protected field. The following sample program demonstrates how to display a protected field in bright blue in dL4 for Windows.
