Hi All,

Does anyone out there know how to set the background color of a text line. The code I tried is...:

        If gBLUE = "ON" Then
                Call QP.SetTextHighlight(0)
                Call QP.SetTextHighlightColorCMYK(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.3)
                Call QP.SetTextColor(0, 0, 1)
                Shadow = False
            Else
               Call QP.SetTextHighlight(1)
               Call QP.SetTextHighlightColorCMYK(0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0.3)
               Call QP.SetTextColor(0, 0, 0)
               Shadow = True
        End If
        'Draw text line
        Call QP.DrawText(X, Y, mytextline)

I am trying to get an "Alternate line" shadow patern happening but am not getting much success.

Ideally I do not want to change the color of the text, but the background of each alternate line.

Kind Regards

Mick

Hi Mick!

More as you want but ...
With ...
QP.SetFillColor(colr,colg,colb); // colr=R(0.0 to 1.0)
                                                // colg=G(0.0 to 1.0)
                                                // colb=B(0.0 to 1.0)
... you can change the complete background color.
With ...
QP.DrawBox( ... )
... ypu can determine the area.

Best regards,
Ingo
