B4J Question Want to change button text color.

[chuck3e]

I'm working with colors now. I've done several searches on color and I've found examples of changing button background colors, for example: Button01.Style = "-fx-background-color: " & colorx & ";" and changing a forms background color: MainForm.BackColor = fx.Colors.Magenta, but it's not obvious to me how to make a simple change to a button's text color within the code. I've tried several permutations of the aforementioned code but haven't found the right combination yet.

Yay, I found it: Buttons01.Style = "-fx-text-fill: " & "White" & ";"

I found it in here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html#typelength
which also contains all the colors and their crazy hex numbers.

Note that if the color is known then you can just write:

Button01.Style = "-fx-text-fill: White;"

Thanks Erel, my example is the result of cut and pasting other peoples code. I do like yours better.

This method also works for changing the color of Labels:

lblDayOfWeek.Style = "-fx-text-fill: Red;"
