Equivalent of SET-RO-COLOR for Disabled Fields..
Sometimes I wish there was an equivalent of the SET-RO-COLOR for disabled fields as on forms with white background its harder to distinguish between Disabled Fields and Read/Write Fields. Has anyone implemented any sort of clever workaround for this in the past? The best I have come with is putting a gray color on the field label in the past..

Re: Problems in Run Process SET-RO-COLOR
Are you running this process from an active link? Methinks you need the @@: prefix, but it's hard to say. Is that command even available in ARS 5.x?

Re: SET-RO-COLOR and System fields
BTW just so you know as a workaround I did try setting these fields using AL's again to Read Only and then the background thingy works but setting them defaulted at the form level to Read Only makes them Read Write in the Search Mode when the form is opened. From what I remember in the previous version this workaround was not required..

SET-RO-COLOR like option in 7.1 for disabled, required, optional fields..
I know that SET-RO-COLOR was supposed for a few versions now... But there wasn't a similar option for changing the color for other type of fields like data fields like disabled fields, required fields or optional fields... Has that changed in 7.1 by any chance? I didn't find anything in the docs so far.. Joe Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Re: SET-RO-COLOR
It was of course worth asking...because Ro-Color isn't documented...so I didn't se any reason why they would document the other one...:)...if it existed of course -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 3:01 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: SET-RO-COLOR If only I had a cent for everytime I wished for this..

Re: SET-RO-COLOR
Just adding to this thread a little after the fact. Another method to keep people from setting focus into read-only fields, especially after you've changed the color is to place a box around them with the Background Mode (attributes tab) set to transparent. Make sure the box is set to the front (Layout, Bring to Front). If you don't want to display an extra box, use the etched display attribute and make it the same size as the field, placed directly on top. You can barely tell it's there if placed correctly. The users can see the fields, but not able to click into them. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org
Re: SET-RO-COLOR
Greg, Yep that works, but the user can still tab to the fields. You could add active links that trap the gain focus and change the focus to another field too. (But that gets real old if you have to maintain dozens of fields like that too.) I think there is an RFE in that thought Add the the ability to remove a field from the tab order for a form. ( So the field can not be tabbed to at all. ) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap Pick two.

Re: SET-RO-COLOR
I take a similar approach to it, but there is a way to do it with only 2 active links. I set my tab order up similar to this: Tab Field 1 ... Tab Field 99 No-Tab Field 1 ... No-Tab Field 99 The first active link is on Tab Field 99. The active link fires on lose focus and sets the focus to the first field they should be able to tab to. The second active link is on No-Tab Field 99. The active link fires on gain focus, and sets focus to Tab Field 99. This is needed because it is possible to tab to No-Tab Field 99 by hitting shift-tab from Tab Field 1. As the user can never tab into any other No-Tab Fields, I don't need active links on any of those.
