Form Designer: Feature Highlighter - Properties

Use a Feature Highlighter (HighlightButton) control to highlight a feature in the map that is not in the current table, but is linked to the database attribute with a relation. This control works in a similar way to the FID Button control, but it will highlight a feature. It is a special variation of the combo box highlight button.

Example from a Wastewater application: Use the Feature Highlighter in the section feature class, which has a relation to the manhole at the section start point, to highlight the manhole.

You can also use a filter to highlight a feature that is different from the one where you get the FID.
