DynamicForecolor overrided by SelectedItemForeColor 1

[Paco75]

Hi,

I have a grid in with i set DynamicForecolor to set some colors depending on row values. I want to change the ForeColor of the selected row too but it is always the SelectedItemForeColor that is used.

Is there a way to disable or override this color value so i can have the same colors i put in DynamicForecolor?

thanks

Not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. Are you saying you want the colour of the selected row to match the dynamic colour if the row meets the selection critiera, but not otherwise?

As far as I know, you can't to that. But I can't see why you would want to.

If I've misunderstood (which I probably have), perhaps you could clarify what you want to achieve.

Mike

If I understand you correctly, Paco, you simply want the DynamicForecolor to work in every row, including the selected row. Then I think all you need to do is turn off the highlighting, that is set grid.Highlight=.F.

Bye, Olaf.

You are right Olaf that's what i want to do but even with grid.highlight=.F. the forecolor is always the same as SelectedItemForeColor.

 

[Paco75]

sorry i mean HighlightfForeColor not SelectedItemForeColor. Even with grid.highlight=.F. the HighlightfForeColor override the color of the row (both forecolor and backcolor)

Have you set AllowCellSelection = .T. ? I think if not, the Highlightcoloring still is used, kind of a bug, if I don't overlook some other switch. HighlightStyle perhaps?

Bye, Olaf.

AllowSelection was at .F. when i turned it on everything is ok... so it is a VFP bug i guess. Will have to live with it

thanks for the help!

Agreed it's a bug, even if it's by design. Just because a grid does not allow editing there's no reason to highlight rows if grid.highlight=.f.

I tried a few things, but it seems hard to turn row highlighting completely off. If someone else has an idea, I'd also be interested.

Bye, Olaf.
