backColor for grid cells

mikebystedt

I've seen the previous posts about setting the background color for text cells in grids,
but I cannot get it to work at all.  I can set the foreground text just fine.  The following
approach is not working at all for me. I even tried adding in the formColorize call.
All the options so far seem to work so far EXCEPT for the backgrounds.  
Not only can I not use custom colors from my
palette, but even the basic 'red 'green 'yellow 'black aren't working.  ALL help is
greatly appreciated.  This is driving me nuts and I've spent hours fiddling with this
supposedly simple item.  Thanks, -Mike

cell->value = "MIKE"
cell->row = 1
cell->col  = 1 

axlFormColorize(form "grid" 'background 'green)

cell->backColor = 'green

axlFormSetField(form "grid" cell)

    Did you start with

    cell = axlFormGridNewCell()

    ? 

  • mikebystedt

    Yes. I didn't include all the code.  Basically I can't get the background color to change at all.

    cell = axlFormGridNewCell()

    cell->row = rowCounter

    cell->col = colCounter

    cell->textColor = 'black

    cell->backColor = 'yellow

    cell->value = "Layer"

    axlFormSetField(form "grid" cell)

    Yes I am Dave!  I should have included that earlier.

    I'm also having a problem centering the columns during creation.  It always stays to the left.
