LiveCode Forums.

Hi there,

I have a data grid and in the color inspector for the group I have set all the colors to dark, mostly black, for everything but the text.

I don't see anything in the behavior script that would change row background color.
Yet when i click away from the standalone stack window, so it becomes inactive, the currently selected row, is highlighted very light maybe about #cccccc

Where does this emanate from please..? I really need to override that code, so it remains the same color as the normal highlighted row color, when the stack is made not the active window.

Just in case anyone else runs into this post looking for an answer.

Ug, it the forum did not let me post a link to the run rev lessons site, you would think it would trust those links.

do a search on google for this:

7343-data-grid-properties

dimmed hilite color
- Color that highlighted lines will be when control is not focused. Prefix property name with "effective" to get the color being used when this property is set to empty.

It seems you have to deselect "Disable BBCode" before you can post a link. I guess this is a good protection against spam bots.

Here is a link to the datagrid lessons.

I ran into this a while back.

Set the "dgFocus" of grp "yourDatGrid" to "true" will keep your colors from running.
