Title: Standard List Boxes
Post by: Jeffrey Ferreira on April 17, 2025, 10:53:14 AM
Hi All,

I think this might be a window thing but i thought i would ask.

We have a screen with several Standard List Boxes on it. They are product options.
Color, Width, Height, Radius etc.

When they click one option - the other one still shows selected but it is like 'faint grey' and it is hard to see it selected. In the past I made a multi-line on top of it that showed selection (re-iterated it). Is there any way i can make the selected option more pronounced even when it does not have focus.

thanks in advance.

jeff

Is the light gray the background colour or the text (foreground) colour?

Also what version PxPlus and Windows?

If you are using a formatted list box there is a option of setting full line highlight in Nomads on the list box.  This will highlight the whole line in the list box as opposed to just the text in the item.

Also, while I don't remember which release it was added but there is a way to change the background color for all formatted list boxes when they don't have focus using the 'OPTION' mnemonic.

PRINT 'OPTION'("LvuSelBackClrNoFocus", ColorDescriptor),

Where ColorDescriptor could be any color specification in PxPlus such as "RED", "RGB: 100,200,200", "#Orange".

You can actually tweak a number of system colors using the 'OPTION' mnemonic.
