[vwnc] InputField

Hi,

I would like to use an InputField with white fonts (which is OK) but
when editing I keep getting a white background and blue selection.
How can I get rid of it ?

Re: [vwnc] InputField

Hello Annick,

The view has widgetState, which store information about appearance. You can modify the state. WidgetState use LookPreferences for storing colors. So the code can look like:

inputFieldView state colors: myColors

where myColors is instance of LookPreferences.

Hope this help,

Alex

Re: [vwnc] InputField

Annick,

Sorry, I did not check the code. Looks like an unfinished part in TextEditorView. But it can be corrected:

TextEditorView>>backgroundColor

state hasBackgroundColor ifTrue: [^state colors backgroundColor]. "Missed in original implementation"

^self isEnabled

ifTrue: [SymbolicPaint background]

ifFalse: [SymbolicPaint inactiveBackground]

The same correction can be done for other color selection methods. You can look at TextEditorView visual appearance category.

LookPreferences knows only about one kind of background. So if you want various colors for active and inactive background LookPreferences should be patched too. Another solution is to make subclass from InputFieldView and redefine backgroundColor, foregroundColor, ...

P.S. I can not find package "Fix Color Text Selection" to check what are there.

Hello Alex,

Should I load the package "Fix Color Text Selection " ?
