How can we change the color of a text item on a button ?

I have a calendar and I want some days ( no appointments ) in grey, while days with activity I want shown in blue. Finally, the current day needs to stand out in red.

The buttons are stored in a two dimensional array.

The problem is that I'm having difficulty changing the text color on the button.

Must be old age ....

You can't change the colors of a TButton (standard Windows pushbuttons). Try using a TBtnBmp instead (or maybe a TButtonBmp but I'm not sure).

OK ... so I'm not losing my mind. Thanks ...

Tim,

TSButton has a setColor() method, but I have never tried it.

TSButton is included in TSBrowse, and you can get a copy on my website on this page:

Tsbutton works OK with Setcolor, i use it in my app

here is a working sample

REDEFINE SBUTTON FILE DIRAPPLI() + "BMP\AIDE.BMP" ID 301 of Odlg ;
TOOLTIP "Aide" ;
COLORS CLR_WHITE, ;
{|oB| If( oB:lMouseOver, {CLR_WHITE,CLR_BLUE }, ;
{CLR_BLUE,CLR_WHITE} ) } ;
ROUNDRECT TEXT POSITION ON_RIGHT CANCEL ;
ACTION DETHELP("CAISSPAR")

Tim, if you need the xbp file to build the tsbutton library, let me know

I was able to use BTNBMP to do what I want, and I changed the background to a bitmap.

Tim

You can even use SetColor() method without using a bitmap:
