B4J Question Background color

[LucaMs]

Is there a direct way to set the background color of "views"?
(or a better solution compared to the following, which I do not like "too much")

I wrote and suggested these two routines (and you could suggest better names for them ) I'm not devoting time to b4j, only to a server without GUI, then I'm not an expert, absolutely.

Button1.Style = SetStyleBackground(fx.Colors.Red)
...

' "SetStyle" because I thought to pass the "view"
Sub SetStyleBackground(Color As Object) As String
    Return "-fx-background-color:" & StyleColorString(Color)
End Sub

Sub StyleColorString(FXColor As String) As String
    Return "#" & FXColor.SubString(2) & ";"
End Sub

[Also, probably there is a method to pass "views" as parameters and...]

You can set the background color with the designer. Your code will overwrite the existing style so it will remove the other style attributes set by the designer or developer.

The background color is set with a CSS style.

I know, but that is the choice of an italian member, set (probably not change) the color through code.

Thank you

The "ideal" would be something like:

SetBGColor(MyView, FX.Color.Red)

"You" should "only" write here the missing routine SetGBColor


[Note: "you" does not mean at all "you Erel"]

Is this correct?

' Sets the background color of a Node
' Color: pass a "JFX.Color" object
Sub SetBGColor(MyNode As Node, Color As Object)
    Dim strColor As String = Color
    MyNode.Style = "-fx-background-color:" & "#" & strColor.SubString(2) & ";"
End Sub

Last question (I should open a new thread, I know, but I need only a "yes" or "not"):

Can I get all the properties of a Node set by Designer and saved in a CSS file? (if so, I could write a list of MyNode.Style lines).


P.S. I fear there are no CSS files created by Designer, but it is incorporated some way in the layout file.

It this correct?

Not 100%. See the implementation in CSSUtils: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-cssutils.61824/

You can see what the designer adds with Log(Node.Style).

If I had known this, I would have recommended your class immediately, without consuming my two neurons


Thank you, Erel
