Hi.
The application has the facility that when user selects a particular record, the background color of all the text item of the form changes to sometime yellow/ or light blue or red ete.
The set_item_property(itemname,background_color,'rgb') is used to give color t runtime. The problem is that when the rgb value is given so that the fields will show light bllue color, they start showing dark greenish blue color. The same rgb color when assigned to a text field for chekcing purpose only,at desing time, it shows absolutely correct color( the one that is required to be shown).
i dont know why the problem is occurring, whenever a backgrouund color is added, it turns to dark, like if ppink is added, dark redish pink is shown.
If light yeellow is added, dark yellowish is shown .
WIndow 2000 and forms 6i are used ,
ANy comment on this please. is there any other way to color the items.
Note.
The rgb format ist he only one that is showing background color, the english format like
set_item_propety(itemname,backdgroun_color,yellow/red/blue) etc arent showing anything..
thanx alot

color range is 32 bit.
if i change it to 256 color, strange color are shown.
The yellow color set at design time it shown as grey.
The defualt LOv cursor color which is dark grey is shown as whitish.. ash color.. etc
what is this.Is there the possibility that we use color in range 0 - 255
but then how do i know that which rgb combination is used to display certain colors as our form shows color only in a range 0 - 100 .
Thanx for the reply

What version of Forms and operating system are you using?
What does a get_item_property(item,background_color), get_item_property(item,foreground_color), and get_item_property(item,current_row_fill_pattern) give you before and after you have used the set_item_property?
Depending on the version of forms that you are using have you considered using visual_attribute groups instead of the colour directly?
