B4J Question Change Tableview Selected Row color at runtime

[LDeeJay]

Hi All,

I have been searching the forum and the tutorials but couldn't find an answer yet. Is it possible to set the selected row color of a tableview (not B4XView) at runtime? The default is a blue one but I'd like to change it to red based on the content of one of the cell it's looking at. I know I can change the color with either the ExtraCSS field in the designer or by using a CSS file but they are both not accessible at runtime. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Leon

If this works then you can also do it at runtime:

CSSUtils.SetStyleProperty(TableView1, ...) 'add a reference to CSSUtils

You're right and the issue is solved because:

tableview.Style = "-fx-selection-bar: red"

does work from code but ...
not when there's also a value in the CSSExtra in the designer. So the designer takes precedent over the code. I had to clear the value in the designer in order to make the code work.

No

No it doesn't. I tried it again and now it works, even with a default value in the ExtraCSS field. No clue what has happened before but it works as expected ..... (of course ;-) )
