Topic: Grid highlighted/selected row color

Hello friends,


When you select a row in a tablegrid it turns blue, when i change the value of "SelectionColor" in the properties bar it's still standard blue so this is probably meant for something else. Is it possible to use script to change the color of the selected row?

Re: Grid highlighted/selected row color

Hi DBK,
There's a couple of things that either don't work or haven't been implemented yet in the tablegrid properties.  From memory, the only option that seems to work with regard to selected text is 'boldtextselection' in the 'appearance options' properties.
So as far as I know, if you want to show the selected row in a different colour, you'd have to do it by script (please note that the way I do it doesn't actually replace the standard highlighted colour, it simply paints over it).
Regards,
Derek.

Re: Grid highlighted/selected row color

Set property of TableGrid:
Additional > AppearanceOptions > aoAlphaBlendedSelection = False


After that you can change the color of the selected row using property SelectionColor
