Re: (forte-users) How do you change the font color onwindow.StatusText

Question

Hi Richard,
In the init method insert the line
<_StatusLine>.PenColor = C_BLUE ;
This sets the pen color for the widget.
StatusText is an attribute on the Window class that
holds the value of the text. This value is then
displayed in the specified data field that you assign.
Hope this helps,

I'm using Forte 3.0.G.2 and can't get the font color

I've followed the instructions in the help
documentation by creating a data
field widget (named it _StatusLine) and mapped it as
a TextData. In my Init
method I then have a chunk of code to set up the
Window.StatusText. It
looks like this:
_StatusLine = new;
Window.StatusText = _StatusLine;
Once that's done the code updates Window.StatusText
as needed. All this
works fine except I can't get the font color
changed. I've used the Window
workshop to specify a color for the data field
widget but it appears that
the underlying Forte libraries has a mind of it's
own. Any clues as what to
do? All I'm trying to do is set the color to the
default "information"
color - which is blue.
Thanks in advance

It's not so simple to find it if you don't know what you're looking for... But it can be found via View - Show/Hide - Toolbar Items - Properties Bar.
