RGB Listbox Colors

[steezware]

The documentation only refers to using the base 16 color for highlighting columns (or rows) in a listbox. Is it possible to use RGB colors?

I have tried '_COLOR'("RGB 180 200 220") and it does not work

What type of list_box are you using? I tried with a Report View and it works fine with a variety of colors, using both RGB: and #xxxxxx formats.

I'm using a formatted listbox, but have tried with report view as well - with no luck.  What code did you use to test the background color setting I included in my original post? Please send a code snippet, James?

The attached image shows my listbox with '_GREEN' and '_BLUE' backgrounds working fine, then I attempt the '_COLOR' and it does not work.

I've attached my process. I also noticed in your sample that there's a "0," at the beginning of your statement. It acts like there's a quote immediately after the list_box ID, putting the rest of the line in as the contents. Also, confirming that your field separator has been reset to $01$ in the definition (from the standard SEP).

[steezware]

The 0 (zero) means to add a line to the end of the listbox.
Yes, $01$ is the listbox separator value.

...And - I am wanting to change the line background, not the foreground as in your sample.

[James Zukowski]

Yes, I understand that. But what I'm looking at is the snip you included. Immediately before the RGB, there's the code for the COLOR, and before that, there's a comma. Where's that coming from...?

Hang on what version of PVX are you using?
