BlackBox Component Builder Forums

When building an interactor, the option for changing font colors is there in the properties inspector. But it doesn't work!.
Why so?

regards: René Dorta.

Controls don't have a color property, but texts do have it.
The same dialog seems to be used for both cases.

Standard set of BlackBox controls leading settings of OS colors theme.
However if you need some "extra" button it is not big deal do design your own.
Please, take a look the ObxButtons example.
ObxButton is sensible to Font Color settings.
You can install it to the Dialog interface from menu Obx -> Insert button.

I also missed the possibility of change the button's color.
As I did not know how, I decided to use the buttons offered by the subsystem Ctls.

To insert a button, menu "Ctls > Insert Bitmap Button".
Then select the new button and menu "Ctls > Bitmap Properties..."

You need three different images for the button; see attached images as an example of a Save button. Regards

There seem to be a few problems (bugs ?) with the Fonts of Controls on Forms - for example a Caption Control.
With the Control property editor I can't change the size or style for the BlackBox default typeface, and I can't change the typeface from, say, Arial back to default.

Attributes -> Default font works strange. It sets Tahoma font, but not default.
