TmyDBCheckBox and Color

rbuser

Using D7 and RB 7.04 Enterprise.

The TmyDBCheckBox does not seem to use the Color Property. I would like
to print a blue check box (box and check mark in Blue). I've manually
set the color property to clBlue and the box still prints in black.
What do I need to do to get this property working? TIA.

Hi Luke,

The CheckBox component use the Wingdings font to draw the box and check
symbols. If you would like to change the color, you need to set the
CheckBox.Font.Color property. This can also be adjusted using the font
color selector in the designer toolbars.

Nico,

Thanks for your suggestion but that does not seem to work. I assigned
the color in the rptBandDetailBeforePrint event with no effect.

In another test, I manually selected the color with the designer
toolbar again with no effect. In this test, I looked at .dfm and saw no
font information being stored.

Where do I go from here?

Hi Luke,

Sorry for the delay in this response.

There is now a patch available for this issue enabling the use of the Color
property to adjust the color of the CheckBox component. I just sent the
patch to your email address. If any one else would like this patch, please
email us at support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll send it to you.
