B4J Question I am baffled

[MrKim]

    Private WCList As CustomListView
.
.
.
'loading multiple lines with this:
WCList.AddTextItem (Crsr.GetString("SchM_WCCode"), Crsr.GetString("SchM_WCCode"))
WCList.ResizeItem(WCList.Size - 1, 40)
.
.
.
'later trying to set the background color of the selected item. 
PP = WCList.GetPanel(Index)

followed by one of the next two lines.

This line works, sets the color for the item:

PP.Color = xui.Color_Gray

This line does not:

PP.Color = xui.Color_ARGB(255, 186, 204, 210)

I have tried different values for all arguments on the ARGB but it doesn't set the background color.

The first value in ARGB sets the transparency. You are making the colour fully transparent! Just use color_RGB.

I should have been more clear. I tried 0, 1, and 255 for that argument - same result.

Interesting - today it is working. Must be a Friday thing

Actually, no. 0 is fully transparent 255 is fully visible.

Don't change the color of this panel. Better to add another panel to your item's layout and change its color.

xCLV makes the base panel color transparent and uses the original color with the item's parent panel.
