EpiShape Blank Title 66580

Joe, yes, not very intuitive. See if this helps:



************************************************************************
*******





Looking at the code for the EpiShape you don't set the colors directly,
rather you set the "Status" Property in code.











The four StatusTypes are:







StatusTypes.Warning



StatusTypes.Global



StatusTypes.OK



StatusTypes.Stop







shpEpiCustom1.Status = StatusTypes.Warning











The following code snippet from the EpiShape control shows which colors
are associated with a particular status:







switch(status)



{



case StatusTypes.Warning:



color1 = Color.Yellow;



color2 = Color.LightYellow;



enabledTextColor = Color.Black;



break;



case StatusTypes.Global:



color1 = Color.MediumBlue;



color2 = Color.LightBlue;



enabledTextColor = Color.LightBlue;



break;



case StatusTypes.OK:



color1 = Color.Green;



color2 = Color.LightGreen;



enabledTextColor = Color.LightGreen;



break;



case StatusTypes.Stop:



color1 = Color.Red;



color2 = Color.MistyRose;



enabledTextColor = Color.AntiqueWhite;



break;

Hi All,

This is the first time I'm trying to use an EpiShape and it's not as
intuitive as I thought it would be. :)

I'm trying to create a red box that is displayed when a UD checkbox is
set to true.

To start, I added the EpiShape, set it to red and bound it to
CheckBox03.

I also added a checkbox so that I could toggle the vale.

When the form loads, the red box is displayed by default, which is
expected where the visible value is true.

The first issue is that the box is red on the outer edges but
transitions to green. I don't see anything that controls this. How do I
set it to just a solid red?

I imagine that I need to hook into EpiViewNotify if I want to change the
color of the box or hide it when the value if false. Is that right?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Has anyone used the EpiShape object? I am trying to add text on the shape
and change the text and color of the shape depending on a field in my
datasource. It seems like an awkward object that I can't figure out what
its controls are. Anyone used this before?
