Datagrid Checkbox Color

Post by Gage » Mon Jan 27, 2014 11:55 pm

Hello,

Pretty simple question, I hope.

I have DGs in an app I am deploying to Android. When I use the checkboxes in one column of the DG in the IDE, they just get a check mark when they are selected and are empty when unselected.

However, when I deploy them to the Android, they seem to be just a square filled with a default dark blue color when selected. How can I either change the color of the fill when selected or revert them to a check mark while in an Android mobile environment?

Thanks!
Phil

Hi Phil,

yep, unfortunatley the (not) "native" look of LC objects on the mobile platform is in fact the ugly UNIX "Motif" look.
And that is how checkboxes look like there :(

You will need to "roll your own", means you should use some graphics (images) for the empty and checked checkbox
(icon and hilite icon).


Best

Klaus
