Gentlemen,
Just had an observation by one of our users about the "wish wash" colous used
in grids to highlight the current row.
In development mode these are fine as I specify row highlichting with visual
persistence and rcb(0,0,255) as the highlightbackcolor for the grid and a white
forecolour so it stands out really well as dark blue background with white
writing. No problem there...
However, when the program is compiled up into an exe the row highlighting
appears a s really light blus back colour with white writing which is almost
indistinguishable due to lack of contrast.
Has anyone else come across this phaenomena? In al my years I have never
noticed it but it has obviously happened.
Luckily all the grids we use are subclassed so I can change the look
accordingly but the same thing happens when I specify green as the highlight
back colour.
I appreciate that certain monitors give different "colour hues" but I am
running the dev program and the compiled program on the same monitor and still get the
different colours... weird!
Any ideas?
A somewhat confused Dave
We've had this problem for years with (clothes) designers saying that
what they have on screen does not match the printout, but that's a whole
different can of worms...
The row highlighting etc I do on grids always looks the same on all the
user machines. Are you (or the user) using modified windows colours?
Does the change of colour happen on all machines or just some?
