Hello experts,

in my file I use a sliding panel with a button that has white Text in unpressed stage. When I execute the action (slide the panel up) linked to that button afterwards the color of the text change from white into black and stays black even after the related action has finished.

Below you see the related entry in the config file. But I do not find the point where it tells to change color after completing the action.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

miwi

I imagine you are making the mistake I did:
With the buttons there is a setColor function and a equivalent .color property. If you set the property in the button handler it reverts at the end of the event. If you use the function it doesn't.

All discussed in this thread here where MCFH was first poster of the question.

Hello Lyndel,

in my case it is not a backgound color, it is text color that changes.

So I looked for textcolor related to that button in the ConfigEdit.xml both textcolor and backgroundcolor / backgroundcolor pressed is at 255 255 255, so should stay white, but doesn´t.

Also I am not able to trace it in the related script.js file.

Any clue where exact I have to search for this.


Thanks in advance for the great support...

Hi,

I changed the sliding Panels script
from:
function createWidget(aWidget, addReset){
newWidget = GUI.addButton();
newWidget.parentWidget = aWidget;
newWidget.slider = slider;
newWidget.visible = true;
newWidget.bgColor = aWidget.bgColor;
newWidget.bold = aWidget.bold;
newWidget.color = aWidget.color
newWidget.font = aWidget.font;
to:
function createWidget(aWidget, addReset){
newWidget = GUI.addButton();
newWidget.parentWidget = aWidget;
newWidget.slider = slider;
newWidget.visible = true;
newWidget.bgColor = aWidget.bgColor;
newWidget.bold = aWidget.bold;
newWidget.color = aWidget.color
//****************************************************************
newWidget.setColor( aWidget.getColor(0), 0 );
newWidget.setColor( aWidget.getColor(1), 1 );
//****************************************************************
newWidget.font = aWidget.font;


franky

I believe the same issue will apply button widgets for the setColor() method vs color property.

Miwi,

This change will indeed correct the issue.

With regard to getting a the script, make sure that you have enabled 'Advanced' mode under the General Options of PEPv2. Then you can see the Activity, Page, and Button Property tab that contains script.
