In the Application Programming use RelabelTreeItem (was in Version 1.x)

/*
RelabelTreeItem can use the browser formatting codes:
  @. Print rest of line, don't look for more '@' signs
  @@ Print rest of line starting with '@'
  @l Use a large (24 point) font
  @m Use a medium large (18 point) font
  @s Use a small (11 point) font
  @b Use a bold font (adds FL_BOLD to font)
  @i Use an italic font (adds FL_ITALIC to font)
  @f or @t Use a fixed-pitch font (sets font to FL_COURIER)
  @c Center the line horizontally
  @r Right-justify the text
  @B0, @B1, ... @B255 Fill the backgound with fl_color(n)      
  @C0, @C1, ... @C255 Use fl_color(n) to draw the text
  @F0, @F1, ... Use fl_font(n) to draw the text
  @S1, @S2, ... Use point size n to draw the text
  @u or @_ Underline the text.
  @- draw an engraved line through the middle.
*/

Here is an example:
var n as Int

//  If @Group <> "Supervisors" Then {     //Commented out for now
If @userID <> "bob" Then {
     n = @RelabelTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update","")
     n = @RelabelTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update!Members","")
     n = @HideTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update!Members!Payments")
     n = @HideTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update!Members!Payments")
     n = @RelabelTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Search/Update!tblRooms!frmRooms", "@mSearch Rooms")
     n = @RelabelTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Add Data!tblRooms!frmRooms", "@S20@C255@B0Add Rooms")   //white on black
     // n = @RelabelTreeItem(@Application + "!Forms!Add Data!tblRooms!frmRooms", "@S20@C0@B255Add Rooms")   //black on white
}

Scott,

This method is not really part of Sesame. It is a side effect of the underlying GUI toolkit  (FLTK) that we don't really support. The FLs refer to constants within that toolkit. You can't access them directly.

The color numbers are looking at an internal FLTK color table. You'd have to play with the numbers to see what's what.

Not an officially supported way.

Thank you Erika & Bob.

Not that I'm supporting this or encouraging it, but @C32256 will give you Blue and @C8257536 will give you Green. If you are trying to get a different shade don't just start changing the numbers around, as you probably won't get the results you want. Those numbers came from the following piece of code

Color = @BShiftLeft(R, 24) + @BShiftLeft(G, 16) + @BShiftLeft(B, 8) 

Where R, G, and B are the Red, Green, and Blue values you want the color to have. Note. R, G, and B must be 255 or less.

32256 = R:0 G:0 B:126 or THIS COLOR
8257536 = R:0 G:126 B:0 or THIS COLOR

You can use any number of programs to get the RGB values for the color that you want, such as MS Paint or any number of image editing tools. The trick is the shifting of the bits to get the correct color that you want as the last 8 bits, of the 32 bit number, must be 0's as that tells it to create a color using the first 24 bits.

Hello Scott,

I've tried those entries on several computers and the Save bar is grayed out successfully. Could you send me your complete INI file so that I can see what you are seeing?

Bravo! Looks GREAT!

Done.

This page: http://fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/functions.html#fl_show_colormap shows the FLTK color map (bottom of page).  There are 8 colors across and 32 down, for a total of 256 (black is zero).  Find a color you like, count across and down, do a bit of math and you have the number of the color for the @C attribute.

We do indeed. We don't mess much with the colors below 256, but there are exceptions.
