How it works highlight (SetFormFieldHighlightMode) form fields?

My code:
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        QP = CreateObject(ClassName)
        QP.UnlockKey(LicenseKey)

        Dim s As String = Application.StartupPath & "\test.pdf"

        QP.LoadFromFile(s, "")
        QP.SetNeedAppearances(1)

        QP.SelectPage(1)

        Dim fnt As Integer = QP.AddFormFont(QP.AddTrueTypeFont("Arial", 1))
        Dim i As Integer = QP.NewFormField("test", 1)

        QP.SetFormFieldValue(i, "test")
        QP.SetFormFieldFont(i, fnt)
        QP.SetFormFieldAlignment(i, 1)

        QP.SetFormFieldBounds(i, 100, 100, 100, 100)
        QP.SetFormFieldBorderColor(i, 1, 0, 0)

        QP.SetFormFieldPage(i, 1)
        QP.SetFormFieldRotation(1, 0)

        QP.SetFormFieldHighlightMode(i, 3)

        QP.UpdateAppearanceStream(i)

        QP.RenderPageToFile(72, 1, 1, Application.StartupPath & "\test.jpg")
        PictureBox1.ImageLocation = Application.StartupPath & "\test.jpg"
    End Sub

Highlighting not. only the border

The Highlighting mode is only used by Acrobat Viewer to change the appearance of the field when the mouse is moved on top of the FormField.  It is not rendered as part of the RenderPageToFile function.

You would neet add a thick border and color to simulate a highlight.

I think it must be added to function reference
