Set Selection Color

I'm still trying to understand the InDesign SDK. I'm working on a plug-in and I want to set the current selection, whatever object it might be, to have an RGB or Lab fill or stroke color. I figured out how to get the current selection but I don't know how to figure out what I can do to it. I get the current selection with: Utils<ISelectionUtils> iSelectionUtils; ISelectionManager* selectionMgr = iSelectionUtils->GetActiveSelection(); So how do I make an RGB or Lab color and tell the selection to set it's fill/stroke color to it ? I would prefer not to have to create a swatch for it first. Thanks, Matt

Snippet didn't work. Here is a normal .png

How to set background color for selected days in DateChooser

How to set background color for selected days. I created
checkbox for each day [Son,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat] and a
DateChooser, I want to change the background color for the selected
day when i click on a button after selecting the desired checkboxs
[ monthly wise/yearly wise]
Thanks in advance

There is no button involved in the following code, but it may
be of use to you:

JTree custom renderer setting selection background color problem

Hi,
I have a JTree with a custom icon renderer that displays an icon. The JTree is part of a TreeTable component. Iam having a problem setting the selection background uniformly for the entire row. There is no problem when there is no row selected in the JTable.
My present code looks like this:
Iam overriding paint in my renderer which extends DefaultCellRenderer.
 super.paint(g);
 Color bColor = null;
 if(!m_selected) {
 if(currRow % 2 == 0) {
 bColor = Color.WHITE;
 } else {
 bColor = backColor;
 } else {
 bColor = table.getSelectionBackground(); bColor = getRowSelectionColor();
 if(bColor != null) {
 g.setColor(bColor);
 if(!m_selected) {
 g.setXORMode(new Color(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF));
 } else {
 g.setXORMode(new Color(0x00, 0x00, 0x00));
 I have a color I arrive at using some algorithm that I want using method getRowSelectionColor(). The other cells in the row have this color. But the cell containing the tree node shows different color. Iam not able to arrive at the right combination of the color to set and the xor color so my tree node also looks like the other cells in the row.
It is not a problem really as the table still looks good. Its just that the tree node looks like it has been highlighted and this might cause a problem when a table cell is highlighed later on in the application ( two cells in the row would be highlighted causing confusion).
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
vidyut

Hi Camickr,
Thanks for the reply. Iam sorry I didn't include the sources the first time around. There were too many of them. I have created a small, self-contained, compilable program that demonstrates the problem and including it herewith. Still there's quite many files but they are all needed Iam afraid. The only one you will have to concern yourself fior this problem is the file IconRenderer.java. The treenode background and the other cells background are not in sync when table row is not selected in this example though. But they are in my real program. I just need them to be in sync i.e have the same background color when the row is selected.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
These are the files that are included below:
1. AbstractTreeTableModel.java
2. Bookmarks.java
3. BookmarksModel.java
4. DynamicTreeTableModel.java
5. IconRenderer.java
6. IndicatorRenderer.java
7. JTreeTable.java
8. TreeTableExample3.java (contains main)
9. TreeTableModel.java
10. TreeTableModelAdapter.java
The copyright and javadocs information has been stripped for clarity.
cheers,

Tab Set Label Colors - How do I change the selected tab label color?

No matter what color I tell it to use for the Labels - Selected color I get white. Is this a known bug in the system or am I not doing something correct. I have a tab set component and a label based menu selector component on my display. I've set up the labels and backgrounds for both components exactly the same but I can only get white for the selected tab set label.

Hi, Maureen
You can set the color of Tab Set by using the Following Steps.
--> Select the Tab Set
--> From the the Properties Window
--> Select Appearance
--> There are Two Tabs "Text" and "Color"
--> From the Color Tab you can Select the Background Color
--> Tab BackGrounds Or Labels from here you can select the color.
But this setting will Apply to all the Tabs in a Tab Set, I think you can't set the Specific Setting for a single Tab in a Tab Set.
Please Reply if any Issue,
Kind Regards,
Faisal

Setting JToggleButton's select color a real pain - any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm starting to get a bit frustrated trying to set the select color of a JToggleButton. I feel like I've wasted hours on something that should be a one liner, so I figured it's time to ask for help (again).
I'm trying to create a very simple panel of about five toggle buttons, in a ButtonGroup, with a grid layout (1 column, 5 rows). Basically I want to create a little navigation panel that resembles the left side of the preferences dialogs in Firefox / Thunderbird (if you've seen it). However, I'm having trouble setting the select color of the toggle buttons. I know it's possible to set the color using the UIManager / UIDefaults (I don't use orange, it's just an example)...
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.select", Color.ORANGE);... but I don't want to change the select color for every toggle button in my application.
I've also seen posts that recommend extending the ButtonUI of the look and feel that is being used. I don't think this is a good solution because I don't intend to extend the ButtonUI of every look and feel I want (or may want) to use.
Although I try to be picky about using quality code that is reusable, I'm at the point where I'm pretty much willing to use anything that will work, no matter how ugly. If you want to share in my frustration, try the following:
Create a tiny app with two JToggleButtons. Label one of them "Go" and the other "Stop". Add the Go and Stop buttons to a button group so that only one may be selected at a time. Make it so when the Go button is pushed it toggles on and is green. Make it so when the Stop button is pushed it toggles on and is red.
In fact, here's a quick hack of my tiny application. Just modify it to set the select color of stop to red and the select color of go to green.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class StopAndGo
     public StopAndGo()
          JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame("Stop And Go");
          JPanel contentPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
          JToggleButton stopButton = new JToggleButton("Stop");
          JToggleButton goButton = new JToggleButton("Go");
          ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
          group.add(stopButton);
          group.add(goButton);
          contentPanel.add(stopButton);
          contentPanel.add(goButton);
          mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          mainFrame.add(contentPanel);
          mainFrame.pack();
          mainFrame.setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
               public void run()
                    new StopAndGo();
}As far as I'm concerned setting the select colors shouldn't be more than two 'setSelectColor(Color.SOMETHING)' lines. After all, one of the first things anyone will tell you about a toggle button is that it changes colors when it's pushed on.
BTW, I'm using Java 1.5 on Linux.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ryan

This is a problem with the way the look and feels work and the simplest solution is to bypass it altogether.
The code below takes each button and uses some GIFs to define what the icons are for the buttons. One is for the normal Icon for the button and the other is for when the button is selected.
You can create your own GIFs with the colours you want. So a Red Stop button selected icon and a green go button selected icon. Two not selected icons are need to show the button when it is not pressed.
Using the border just stops the normal button being drawn. Just the icon is seen.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class StopAndGo
     public StopAndGo()
          JToggleButton stopButton = new JToggleButton("");
          JToggleButton goButton = new JToggleButton("");
          JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame("Stop And Go");
          JPanel contentPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
          ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
    stopButton.setSelectedIcon(new ImageIcon("whiteCross.gif"));
    stopButton.setIcon(new ImageIcon("blackCross.gif"));
    stopButton.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
     goButton.setSelectedIcon(new ImageIcon("whiteCircle.gif"));
    goButton.setIcon(new ImageIcon("blackCircle.gif"));
    goButton.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
          group.add(stopButton);
          group.add(goButton);
          contentPanel.add(stopButton);
          contentPanel.add(goButton);
          mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          mainFrame.add(contentPanel);
          mainFrame.pack();
          mainFrame.setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
               public void run()
                    new StopAndGo();
}

Setting the color on selected Tab

Hi,
I can't seem to figure out how to set the color on the
selected tab in a JTabbedPane. I've added a
ChangeListener but when I try to use it, it only
changes the color after the tab has been selected.
I want to change it while it is selected.
How can I do this?

Maybe this helps:

Action written in CS4 won't run correctly in Elements 11 - specif. the "selective color" layer

I created an action using Adobe Photoshop CS4, and it runs correctly in CS4. When I save and load the action into Elements 11, there is a problem with the selective color layer. The selective color layer shows up in the layer stack along with the expected message that it can't be edited b/c it was created in the full version of Photoshop. However, the layer itself does not have any color/changes in it.
In Photoshop, the selective color layer makes the photo look pink. When I run the action in Elements11,the selective color layer does absolutely nothing to the photo. I do have the eye turned "on" to view the layer, and it's set at the correct blending options & opacity (normal, 100%).
If I run the action in Photoshop, save the file with all the action-created layers, and reopen the file in Elements 11, THEN the selective color layer shows its correct pink color. But when I run the action as a stand-alone action in Elements11, it does not.
Can anyone offer help as to why this is happening? Is there something special I need to do to make the action work correctly in Elements 11? My understanding was that it should RUN and create the layers correctly, although some of them will not be editable in Elements11. However, as it stands, it is not creating them with the correct color.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You probaly need to record the action in a little different way in photoshop cs4 to get the selective color adjustment layer to work.
Try something like this:
1. In photoshop cs4 add an selective color adjustment layer, but don't do any adjustments and stop recording the action.
2. Undo the selective color adjustment layer and then double click on on the selective color adjustment layer step in the actions panel
and when the dialog opens set your adjustments and click ok.
Now it should work in pse 11:

How to set background color for a JFrame

Hi,
i am new to swing programming. I have created a JFrame called framehelp and i placed some labels in the frame.
I have set the background color as yellow for the frame ie by setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255, 255, 204));

How can i change the background color of frame as lightish yellow.
I have used NETBEANS to generate this code and i am posting the code..

Report Generation broken after deployment - Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi

Upon deployment, the Excel Set Cell Color and Border.vi became broken. After installing LV2010 SP1 to view the VIs in the deployment, I noticed that in the second case structure where the code draws the border using the BorderAround invoke node, there is an extra variant input parameter named 'Parameters'. Upon right-clicking, an option to 'Relink Invoke Node' appeared and after selecting this, the extra input disappeared and the VI was no longer broken.
Why does "Relink Invoke Node" appear? How do I create a deployment with this issue? Has anybody else experienced this? Why is the TestStand deployment so buggy?

Hi Ching-Hwa,
I have set up a test deployment here where I am deploying a workspace that contains a sequence file. This sequence file has a LabVIEW Action Step calling a VI that opens a new Excel file and simply calls the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI. After deploying this, both the VI and my test sequence ran on the deployment machine without error. Therefore, I do have some more questions to more accurately reproduce what you are seeing.
First, what operating systems are you developing on and deploying to? Also, what license do you have for TestStand on the machine you are deploying to? If you have a development version, can you manually take the sequence file and VI to this machine and run it? I know you now have LabVIEW 2010 SP1 on your development machine, but if you have the development version of TestStand as well, it would be interesting to see if you copy the files over if you still see this behavior. Are you including the TestStand Engine in the deployment?
Can you open a blank VI on the deployment machine and add the Excel Set Cell Color and Border VI? It would also be interesting to see if this is not a product of the deployment, but rather an issue with something on the deployment machine itself. What version of the Report Generation Toolkit do you have on each machine? Also, what versions of Excel are you using on the development and deployment machine? Again, it would be helpful for me to know exactly what versions you have installed on both the development and deployment machines so that I can reproduce this as accurately as possible.
One last thing to try, too, would be to try deploying the VI by itself just to see if it also has the same behavior. Do you have the Application Builder in LabVIEW? If so, could you also try building an executable from the VI, create an installer, and deploy this to the deployment machine?
In regards to the "freezing" of code by removing the block diagrams, I do not believe this will be a proper work around in this case. While this removes the block diagram from actually being deployed along with the VI and restricts users from editing the code on the deployment machine, if something is getting changed in the compiled code upon deployment, this will not stop this from happening. This option is available more as a memory option to lower the size of the deployment as well as prohibit any users on the development machine from editing the block diagram themselves.
Thanks, Ching-Hwa! I look forward to your response so that I can continue trying to reproduce this issue. Have a great day!

Hi
A couple of things...
Thats SQL - not PL/SQL
That is not a valid SQL statement, I'm surprised its not giving an error. Please post the exact region source.
When posting code on the forum, put {noformat}{noformat} (with the curly brackets and the word code in lowercase) above and below your code like this...
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT *
FROM emp
{noformat}{noformat}
It will then appear like this... SELECT *
FROM emp
Cheers

How to set different color for items in selectManyCheckbox

hi,
I would like to change item text background color for each item on selectManyCheckbox (different for each item).
It is only 5 items so that could be static reference or select.
I know only how to change background for all items
af|selectManyCheckbox::item-text {
 background:orange;
How to select concrete item text and change color for only them?
I found similar problem:
css - Set background color of every individual checkbox of p:selectManyCheckbox - Stack Overflow
but this dont work for me because I dont have in adf tr structure
I need somethink like this:
af|selectManyCheckbox::item-text XXXX - select here one of the item by number on list or id {
 background:orange;

hi,
thanks Alejandro and Federico for answers.
I use JDev 11.1.1.6. I dont write it in previously post because I think that is a more css then adf problem.
I have 5 selectItem based on simple List<String> {"text1", "text2", "text3", "text4". "text5"}:
<af:selectManyCheckbox label="List" id="smc2"
 layout="horizontal"
 value="#{bean.listInBean}"
 autoSubmit="true">
 <af:selectItem label="text1" value="text1" id="si47"/>
 <af:selectItem label="text2" value="text2" id="si43"/>
 <af:selectItem label="text3" value="text3" id="si46"/>
 <af:selectItem label="text4" value="text4" id="si45"/>
 <af:selectItem label="text5" value="text5" id="si44"/>
 </af:selectManyCheckbox>
and I would like to color first selectItem text to orange, second to red.. etc, The list is a static list. Not would be changed.
After Alejandro answer I build simple for each element (anyCollection contains item with two fields: textValue and label {(text1,text1), (text2,text2)...}
<af:forEach items="#{bean.anyCollection}"
 var="item">
 <af:selectItem id="si48" value="#{item.textValue}" styleClass="yourClassName#{var.index}"
 label="#{item.label}"/>
 </af:forEach>
And now if I have my var called "item" I can write 5 css style classe yourClassName#{var.index} with different color, but there is a problem:
Attribute styleClass is not defined for af:selectItem
If it will be so simple I will just add 5 style classes for each selectItem
<af:selectItem label="text1" value="text1" id="si47" styleClass="yourClassName0"/>
<af:selectItem label="text2" value="text2" id="si43" styleClass="yourClassName1"/>
Should I use other component then adf facer rich?

How to get the default selection color from JTable

Hi, there,
I have a question for how to get the default selection color from JTable. I am currently implementing the customized table cell renderer, but I do want to set the selection color in the table exactly the same of default table cell renderer. The JTable.getSelectionBackgroup() did not works for me, it returned dark blue which made the text in the table unreadable. Anyone know how to get the window's default selection color?
Thanks,
-Jenny

The windows default selection color is dark blue. Try selecting any text on this page. The difference is that the text gets changed to a white font so you can actually see the text.
If you don't like the default colors that Java uses then use the UIManager to change the defaults. The following program shows all the properties controlled by the UIManager:
http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
Any of the properties can be changed for the entire application by using:
UIManager.put( "propertyName", value );

Setting cell color in ALV

Hi All
I would be greatful if someone could please help...
I am still attempting to get cells painted within a WDA ALV grid display.
I have tried to use the method stated in the WDA sap press book - but this method is for use with TABLE element and I am using a ViewContainerUIElement for my table. There are mentions of wonderful ways to color cells in a list display - but I cannot understand how this can be achieved. I currently have this working appart from the numeric numbers of the design being set into the relavant column cell.
If anyone could help that would be great...

Setting row color in REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY_LVC

Hi,
I'm not sure if this function perhaps is not released or has bugs? I didn't see any OSS notes. I've read several sources on how to set the color for a given line and I'm not sure why I don't see it. I see the values in my internal table in the ROWCOLOR column.
We are on 4.6C and I wanted to use the LVC function to move toward the ECC versions of the structures ( LVCS_LAYO instead of SLIS_S_LAYOUT). Perhaps this function module is not really supported???
Could the ZEBRA parameter throw it off?
Could it be a buffer issue? I've tried it alternate ways and don't see a difference.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Ray
Here is the code I'm using to set the layout and define the table.:
gs_alv-callback_pf_status = 'PF_STATUS_SET'.
gs_alv-callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND'.
gs_alv-callback_program = sy-repid.
gs_alv-structure_name = 'ZHUS_ST_SP_REPORT'.
gs_alv-itabname = 'GT_DATA'.
gs_alv-itabwaname = 'GS_DATA'.
gs_layo-zebra = 'X'.
gs_layo-cwidth_opt = 'X'.
gs_layo-box_fname = 'SELECTED'. " Checkbox
gs_layo-info_fname = 'ROWCOLOR'.
gs_layo-sel_mode = 'B'. "Default - multiple rows
CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
 EXPORTING
 i_structure_name = gs_alv-structure_name
 CHANGING
 ct_fieldcat = gt_fcat.
I set the color in my list table:
ls_data-rowcolor = 'C600'.
 APPEND ls_data TO gt_data.
This is how I call the grid:
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY_LVC'
 EXPORTING
 i_buffer_active = 'X'
 i_callback_program = gs_alv-callback_program
 i_callback_pf_status_set = gs_alv-callback_pf_status
 i_callback_user_command = gs_alv-callback_user_command
 i_structure_name = gs_alv-structure_name
 i_grid_title = gs_alv-grid_title
 i_grid_settings = gs_glay
 is_layout_lvc = gs_layo
 it_fieldcat_lvc = gt_fcat
 it_excluding = gt_excluding
 i_default = gs_alv-default
 i_save = gs_alv-save
 is_variant = gs_disvariant
 it_events = gt_event
 it_event_exit = gt_event_exit
 is_print_lvc = gs_prnt
 TABLES
 t_outtab = <gfs_t>
