Change Cell color at runtime

Posted: Mar 29, 2017 3:54 AM

On an ealier version of Intraweb (I don't remenber what version), I had this to change at runtime the color of a Cell based on a condition on the IWDBGridRenderCell event:

ACell.Css := 'Grid';
if ( AColumn = 1 ) and ( Pos('Comograma', ACell.Text) <> 0 ) then
begin
ACell.Css := 'GridTexthighlighted';
end;

and this worked.
Now, after upgrading to v14.1.8, this do not work anymore. What changed? How can I accomplish this?

sorry, i don't know much about js, css etc', but maybe for now you can just set different color and style to the font of the cell (until someone from AToZed will help or update IW)

iw , js

In similar issue usually I do this:
1) Using the browser debug tool find the cell, in html format. So you can see how it is rendered by IW. This can help you in adjusting code in your Delphi TIWForm.
2) If you cannot find a solution in TIWForm, you can write JS code in you page (the html page if you use a template, or in ExtraHeader property), similar like this:

    <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $('.youClass').css('background-color','green');
    });
    </script>

You can find lot of example about how to find elements in html page and how to change their properties.

I set the .css value and use it for similar purposes in version 14 so that should still work fine (I'm not familiar with earlier versions).

I'd first try to determine where the problem lives. Is the 'GridTexthighlighted' being rendered to the "class" of the cell element? Check the HTML content in the browser.

If it is being rendered, then you can track your css definitions to find out why the color is not responding. If it is NOT being rendered, then you can look back into your IW code to determine why. There could be something going on with the grid or cell, but before I went into that I'd find out if that is where the problem lives.

I'd find out which direction to look as a first step.

Something was changed on this recent version.

If I set .css property like this:
ACell.Css := 'GridTexthighlighted {}';

Instead of:
ACell.Css := 'GridTexthighlighted';

It works. Strange but this used to work on earlier version.

Mine works without the braces, but I am on 14.1.5

I will install the latest when I get time and try it again.
