I just noticed that GET clauses do not grey out when the WHEN clause is false. COMBOBOXes are greyed as expected. I'm pretty sure that this did work this way at one time.
For example:
@ 1, 1 GET oCalldate VAR cCallDate WHEN ( .F. ) OF oDlg
does not show the field greyed out.
Does anyone else see this issue?
I am using xBase ver 1.9 RC2.

Dan,
We have modified it intentionatelly. Now you can set any color you want for disabled GETs. Simply do oGet:SetColor( ..., ... ).
How do I set the greyed color? I don't generally do anything with colors so I don't know anything about colors.

... GET oGet VAR ... WHEN ( lEnable := ValidCondition(), If( lEnable, oGet:SetColor( nColor1, nColor2 ), oGet:SetColor( nColor3, nColor4 ) ), lEnable )Hello Antonio,
It does make the code a bit unreadable. What about a global setting that will set the colors of all disabled gets to specific colors? The user could override any get then for a unique purpose or even change the global setting for disabled gets to other colors. The gets could inherit the default setting when a dialog is activated and be changed when necessary for specific purposes for each get while the dialog is activated.
I really prefer the greyed out gets the way they were, but I do understand that some users would find them hard to read.

Dan,
We have implemented a new DATA in class TGet, named lDisColors, that it is .t. by default.
If lDisColors is .t. then the painting is standard as usual. If .f., then the GET colors are used.
You may review samples\TestGet2.prg to see how to use this new DATA. We email you the new libs and appreciate your feedback.
Hello Antonio,
This implementation was a good idea. Works just fine.
Thanks
Dan
