O7 : Changing color in table

Thu Jan 7 12:33:40 EST 2010

are you using windows?

you want to keep the color of the line when the user selects it?

hmmm never done that before; alas, no time to try (we're always under 
the gun here, w/ stack of stuff to do). the sim[ple case previously 
supplied doesn't show the kRed when selecting line, alas.

if i were to try, tho, would put an "if #click..." under the table (the 
assumption is that every time a user changes his/her selection there 
will be a click involved) and recolor that line, returning deselected 
lines to the standard color.

then, try combinations of colors until it comes out as you like it.

rather than hit and miss, perhaps set up a proc that goes thru the 
$forecolor/$backcolor combos until you find one you like.

game plan:
- populate your list.
- select one or more lines
- cycle thru different $backcolor/$forecolor combinations until you find 
what you want. you can do this w/ a loop and, say, "yes/no" message OR 
pausing N seconds, or such.

you may want to select several lines, and color them w/ different 
combinations.
