SAY-color on folders

[byte-one]

REDEFINE SAY PROMPT "Test" ID 110 OF oDlg COLOR CLR_WHITE,CLR_BLUE is not functioning on standard folder-pages. Only the text-color is accepted. On normal dialogs, all is ok.

Nobody have an answer?

Hello Günther,

I noticed the same Problem as well, to display a colored SAY-Background in Folders.
Before I used a SAY to display the Font ( Transparent for Background was OK )
But now I have to show a Font with a defined Style and Color on a colored Background
for my Excel-Headlines and Cells.
I found a better Solution to display a Text, changing at Runtime : Text, Font, Textcolor and Background.
Using : REDEFINE BITMAP, I can center the Text or show it on any needed Position.
I think it is a good Solution, to solve the Problem. For me it works better, than using a SAY.
You can define any Background, like Image, Brush, Gradient or Color. Not possible, using a SAY.
To display different ( changed ) Values => oBMP:Refresh()

Using Brushes.
We don't want the Brush adjusted to Size < Tiled > must be calculated.
I tested with :
DEFINE BRUSH oImage FILENAME cBitmap
SET BRUSH OF oBitmap TO oImage
but it doesn't work like expected.
