How to assign background color to the form grid reference group control ?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by veeru ogu 3,851

I have setup form , there i am setting my color code through color picker.

In my custom form i am using that setup data to apply the background color to my reference group control in display option method.

but it is not showing the color, is there any specific way to apply the color to the reference group control.

If i take string control it is working fine.

please  the code below.

public void displayOption(Common _record, FormRowDisplayOption _options)
{
 SurveyTable surveyDis = _record;


_options.affectedElementsByControl(GridHeader_RiskLevelRecid.id());


if (surveyDis.AsbestosStatus)
{
_options.backColor(StatusTable::find(surveyDis .AsbestosStatus).ColourCode);
}

super(_record, _options);
}

Thanks in advance,

Veer

    Hello Veeru, as was already suggested on this thread, would you be able to give it a try to the information on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/user-interface/specify-color-font-background-controls

    If this was already tried, what was the output? also, as someone already mentioned some process deprecates with the time

    we can  make  affected by controls it is working  for string  and not working for reference group control.

    In  a same grid  two  different columns  has to assign two different colors based  on color setup in my setup forms.

    Hi Veeru,

    Some of these features were deprecated in D365. At least, I was able only to color the whole grid line, but I haven't managed to make affectedElementsByControl works.

    Hi veeru,

    Try the following code:

    Element.colorScheme(FormColorScheme::RGB);

    Element.backgroundColor(WinAPI::RGB2int(255,225,125));

    Refer to the DOC:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../specify-color-font-background-controls

    Hope this helps.

    Good Moring Veer,

    Can you provide us some information on the AX / D365 version that you operate?

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig
