How do I turn Forms6i items properties back to <Unspecified>?
I want the foreground and background colors of my canvases and LOV's to be the same as the Windows default, but forms does not allow me to leave the property blank, after I changed it. I don't want to redo all my forms.

Create a visual attribute that has the elements that you want to set to <Unspecified> set to a value. Eg, the foreground colour may be 'blue' or the font may be 'Arial'.

Next, in your item properties select the new visual attribute in the Visual Attribute Group.

Finally, re-select Default in the Visual Attribute Group. This will re-set any elements that are defined in your visual attribute back to <Unspecified>.
