Hi Gary,

So, you want to set the color properties at runtime. I might add OnPreSetDynamicColor() method for that.

I think right now you can do basically the same by placing the code from your .SetHighlight method into GHL's instance SetDynamicColor() method:

*** GHL's instance SetDynamicColor() method ***
* do your color matching here and manipulate the GHL's color properties.
DODEFAULT()

Let me know if it works for you.
