fxruby users - Jul 2006 - FXCombobox -set background color

Dear Lyle,

thank you also for your reply to my background color
question. I have tried various color constants , but
I don''t think that the problem is correctly identified
yet. What I don''t understand is, why is the color
of the pane set to white, say, if that''s the prescribed
color of the FXTextField child of FXCombobox, but the
one option that''s visible, if you don''t click on the
item is still in the other color.
If it had to do with Henon''s recursive function call,
I''d expect the one call to a white background for the
FXTextfield to be overwritten as the next element is
introduced.
Maybe i didn''t make my question sufficiently clear -
that was actually the reason for my bug report request.

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,

Axel

Because I still don''t understand the question, I''ve written a
short
and to the point little program that displays a combo box (attached).  
Make minor modifications to it, if you need to, to reproduce the  
problem you''re describing. Once you''ve done that, please tell
me (1)
what it is that you were expecting to see, and (2) what it is that  
you''re actually (unexpectedly) seeing.

Dear Lyle,

thank you for your response. Your code works fine.
My problem is shown in the attached screenshot 
of my application. There''s a Combobox open, the pane
is in white color, but the first option in it is gray,
like the background. This seems to be because
recursively, labels, textfields, comboboxes get added,
and I set their background color in each iteration step.
Now, it seems that the background is everything but the
newly added textfield,combobox or whatever.
I can work around this problem now, by setting colors
more selectively, as in the lines commented out below.

p.recursive{|w|
			next if w.kind_of? TextField
			next if w.backColor==HEADER_COLOR
                        if /ComboBox/.match(w.type.to_s)
                         w.baseColor=WHITE_BACK_COLOR
                         w.backColor=WHITE_BACK_COLOR
                         w.children.each{|x| 
                           x.backColor=WHITE_BACK_COLOR
                           x.baseColor=WHITE_BACK_COLOR
                          }
                        else                          
                        #elsif /Label/.match(w.type.to_s)
                        w.backColor=STD_BACK_COLOR  # this causes a problem
                        #elsif /Button/.match(w.type.to_s)
                       # w.backColor=STD_BACK_COLOR
                        
                        end
          	}

So even though I don''t understand why this program behaves like this,
it works ,  thank you!

Best regards,

Axel
