setting background color of an option menu

Post by bergsy » Thu Apr 16, 2015 8:39 am

Hi,

I want to set the backgroundcolor of an option menu but setting the property does nothing.

set the backgroundcolor of btn optCategory of me to "#FFB6C1"

I also notice that I can't set a backgroundcolor through the IDE either. I am trying to get the menu to "stand out" to the user in particular circumstances. Setting the text color isn't an option because I don't want it to change all the text in the dropdown

Thanks

Bergsy

Hi Bergsy,

many controls like an option menu and checkboxes/radiobuttons etc. are supplied
by the underlying OS, so we cannot modify them in Livecode.


Best

Klaus
