Hi. to all of you..
I have searched and find many questions and answers regarding setting the background color of the text item n the text .
I am using oracle 9i rel 2 an Forms 6i and i have used the
set_item_property('itemname',Background_color,'any')
and this is not working at all
I repeat this is not working at all.
I also want to change the text color of a text prompt.. i mean the prompt we associate with the text item so taht user knows which field is beign represented by this text item..
I have tried using prompt_color but it does not work as well
Kindly suggest me something .. earlier i will be highly grateful to you all
BR

Hi all,
The simplest way to color a button is to trick your button.. now for sure this trick works on Developer6i version. The only thing which you may not like that if you have labled your button with numeric or alphanumeric label then it will dispear because you have to set your button property to iconic=yes. Here is a real example which hopefully everyone will benifit of
1) create a button on your form name it as you want for example B1
2) go to property of the B1 button and set iconic to yes (don't waste your time to label it because once you set the button to iconic , the label will disappear)
3) create a visual attribute and name it for example as NEW_COLOR and double click on it and go to section color then set property fourground and background to the color you like even fill pattern can assign to a color.
4) go back to the button you have create on your form and hit F11 to create a trigger
5) assign the following code to WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger -----> set_item_property('B1',visual_attribute,'NEW_COLOR');
