An object implementing the status color classification a status LED icon is shown in the ContentBrowser's list of objects.

- Add the STATUSCOLOR property to the list of published MetaProperties of the according context scope
- Evaluate and release the new MetaDefinitions (if necessary)
 | The value of the STATUSCOLOR property has to be of type integer and must represent a numeric color code. Its value can be entered directly or originate from a selective list item. |
