background / xBrowser ?

[Otto]

Could someone please show me how to change the background of the xBrowser if there are only some scores.
Thanks in advance,
Otto

[Antonio Linares]

Otto,

Do you mean that you want the background image for those records only ?

[Otto]

Antonio, thank you for your answer. I changed the screen shot to show what I mean.
I mean I would like to have white instead of blue.
There is only one record in the xBrowser.

After defining browse
oBrw:SetColor( CLR_BLACK, CLR_WHITE )

Mr. NagesWaraRao, thank you.

Now I see:
CLASS TXBrowse FROM TControl

CLASS TControl FROM TWindow

METHOD SelColor( lFore ) INLINE

Otto,

I don't see a selColor() method in TControl.

If you look at TXBrowse():new() you will see:

::SetColor( CLR_BLACK, GetSysColor( COLOR_WINDOW ) )

Thus, the standard window color is being used by default (which is often white). You should be able to change this using:

oBrw:setColor( nClrFore, nClrBack )

setColor() is inherited from TWindow.

James, it is a typo.
It should be
METHOD SetColor( nClrFore, nClrBack, oBrush )

Isn’t it like that: xBrowser inherits from control class and Control from window class?

Otto,

>James, it is a typo.

Correct.

>Isn’t it like that: xBrowser inherits from control class and Control from window class?

Yes. It is a method of the TWindow class.

Did you try setting the color using this method? If it doesn't work, then perhaps it is a bug in the TXBrowse class.

Mr James

There is no bug in the xbrowse class. The class just inherits the colors from its parents.

If the main window's nClrPane is set to blue, xbrowse also inherits the same nClrPane. Mr Otto must have set main windows colors as <somecolr>, CLR_BLUE. Naturally xbrowse inhertited blue color as nClrPane.

If we want white background for xbrowse, ( different than its parent ) we should set it for xbrowse.

This can be done by oBrw:SetColor () or while creating @ r,c XBROWSE ...... COLORS CLR_BLACK,CLR_WHITE.

NageswaraRao,

>There is no bug in the xbrowse class. The class just inherits the colors from its parents.

I believe I said it inherts from its parents. I did not test the xBrowse to see if the background was working properly when there are no records being displayed.

>This can be done by oBrw:SetColor ()

I think that is what I said also. Perhaps I wasn't clear.

[Otto]

Thank you where much for your help.
It is working as suspected. It was my mistake.

Now I have this code:

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg ;
ON INIT oBrw:SetColor( CLR_BLACK, CLR_WHITE )

Otto

oCol:bClrStd := { || { clr1, clr2 } }

you may set other colors also for each column. They can be conditional codeblocks
Please review the DATA of TXBrwColumn in xbrowe.prg

Hello Otto,

the new xBrowse-tools 2.0 will write the soure
for all your tested settings.
Just have a look at the toppic for a preview.
On page 3, there are 2 switches possible
1. changing colors Row <> Column
2. changing the color-position / color A <> B
