Changing of Panel Border Color

Hi,

is it possible to change the border color of a panel?

I tryed

app.Panel.HighlightColor = 'g';

but I get the warning "Functionality not supported with figures created with the uifigure function. For more information, see Graphics Support in App Designer."

In the support text, I not found a solution. Is there a way to change the color?

Kind regards.

@Mathias Gießler - from Panel Properties, it says something similar: This property is valid only for panels in apps created using the figure function. So if you were to create the panel for a figure rather than a uifigure, then this would work. i.e.

fig = figure;
p = uipanel(fig);
p.Title = 'Display Options';
p.HighlightColor = 'r'

So no, I don't think that you can change the highlight color due to the way the app is created. You can change the BackgroundColor and ForegroundColor though.

It would be really, really handy from a UI perspective to be able to change the HighlightColor when the parent is a uifigure. Any idea as to how technically challenging this is, and whether or not a change is in the works?

@Martin Tarlie R2023a finally introduced the uipanel property 'BorderColor' which replaces 'HighlightColor' (See Panel Properties version history).

In my opinion this was already highly overdue because they just took away the functionality for years without a replacement until now.
