Individual cells can be highlighted with color (foreground and background). This function can make user interfaces easier to read when viewing long lists of data.

To see an example of how to highlight cells with color, refer to the AbtContainerColorsExampleView in the sample. The example shows how to use the #cellColorRequested:clientData:callData: callback to change the colors for both the normal cell and the selected cell. Also shown is how to use the #editPolicyItems action on a combo box so as to set the #editPolicyItems attribute from script.

Note that only the sixteen basic colors can be used when changing a cell's coloring. The extended palette is not supported on all platforms.
