While working on a test project, I noted that using a panel component with the ParentColor property set to True, the color will come out as a white background color (I have the parent form set to clWheat.) When I changed the ParentColor property to False, the color (which was already set to clWheat when I chose the component) came out properly on the web site. Note that in the IDE, the color will show correctly but will not when compiled unless the ParentColor property is set to False. -- Jan Ferguson |

If I change the color of a TPanel to something other than the normal background at design-time, then the ParentColor property is properly set to False. If I then run the application, the panel color is the proper "new" color. If I then change the ParentColor property back to True at design-time, then the Color property is updated properly back to the same as the form, and then when I run the application, the panel is the same color as the form. If you have any more information on the steps that you took, it would be appreciated. Thanks, -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Jan Ferguson Data Software Solutions, Inc. ![]() | Hi Tim,
Actually, all I did was to place a TPanel on the form. The ParentColor property was set to True and the color property was already set the same as the parent form...in this case clWheat. Yet when the project is compiled, the color is not the parent color (it comes up white or clFormBackground...can't tell which) and in my case it was not clWheat. Yet if I change the ParentColor property to "False" the color which was there when the TPanel component was placed on the form, will show correctly....even though it *IS* the parent color. The steps I took were: 1. Change the Color property of a form to something different (in my case I used clWheat) 2. Please a TPanel component on the form 3. The Color of ther TPanel component should show the same color (clWheat) as the form. 4. Compile the project and that panel will show a default color. 5. Change the TPanel component's ParentColor property to "False" and recompile. 6. The panel will now show with the correct color (clWheat). -- Jan Tim Young [Elevate Software] wrote: > Jan, > > << While working on a test project, I noted that using a panel > component with the ParentColor property set to True, the color will > come out as a white background color (I have the parent form set to > clWheat.) > > When I changed the ParentColor property to False, the color (which > was already set to clWheat when I chose the component) came out > properly on the web site. > > Note that in the IDE, the color will show correctly but will not when > compiled unless the ParentColor property is set to False. >> > > Hmm, I'm not seeing this in the latest build.
