Default Backcolor Problem With Pageframe In VFP Version 8 - 01-27-2004 , 06:47 PM






Hello:

I just opened a project in VFP 8 that I started in VFP 6, and when I
ran the app, everything was fine except one thing--the pageframe page
backcolors. For some reason, they are not responding to the Backcolor
property, and are all showing up as white. In my original design, I
had different colored pages in the main pageframe of the main form.
What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Steven C

This is caused by the new XP Themes feature for VFP8 on WinXP. To display
your own backcolor, you have to set pageframe.themes = .F.

Many thanks, Eric.

Yes, this did the trick.
This was driving me nuts--I couldn't figure out what had changed

Big help. Thanks again!

Steven
