Hello,

PB 2022 B 1892, No theme

Need to set background color of a DDLB, which is inside a datawindow column.   By default, it's white and I could not find any way to change it in the properties panel (or I'm missing?).   

Any modify command can do it?  Something like

dw_1.Modify('fieldname.ddlb.backcolor = 232323')

Happiness Always

Hi Sivaprakash ;

  FWIW: When I need to do this, I replace the DDLB with a DDDW. As the DDDW is a child DWO, I can control all of it's UI at run time.

Food for thought.   ;-)

Regards ... Chris

Thanks Chris,

So, no solution if we keep it as DDLB..

To not have to access any tables and insert any data into those, you can just create an external dw and insert some fixed data into it. It's not a lot of work and I'm sure you know that anyway already, just my extra 2cts. In my opinion DDLB aren't very versatile in the first place.

regards.
