button backcolor

[franco]

I am trying to set the backcolor of a button.
Is this possible. I can do it with a label but setting the text of a label is harder.

Code: Select all

Define Button button_1
Row 60
Col 135
Caption 'Hello'
BackColor {72,255,72}
End Button

Thanks in advance

Franco,

According to the DOCS there is no backcolor for buttons...

Thanks Serge,
I am changing all my buttons to labels. It seems to work and gives my screens a brighter and more modern look.

Code: Select all

Define Label button_1             //change
Row 60
Col 135
Value 'Hello'                           //change
BackColor {72,255,72}
End Label                               //change

This way references stay same as names are still button

Labels work very fine, tou can use hover effect, you can also set alignment. i use them in a few of my applications. You can also set tabstop

Thanks Jorge,
This works good in minigui.
Is there a way to add minigui to hmg, I can not get it to work in hmg.
Like

#include <hmg.ch>
#include <minigui.ch>
DEFINE BUTTONEX BUTTON_1
BACKCOLOR{168,0,0}
END BUTTONEX

[mol]

I don't think it's possible to add buttoex to hmg in simple way

The label colors look so blaw, is there a way to living them up. Like dark edges and lighter in the middle.

Perhaps you can use a picture or some image?
