Did you mean: 

why there is neither "text-msg frame" attr nor "label frame" attr?

Hello everyone,

 

For warning or advice-giving, I just need some eye-catching effects with a few numeric ctrls on my panel when a value changes.

 

Then I think maybe an "ATTR_LABEL_FRAME_COLOR" attr suits me, but ther is NO such!!!

 

Can anybody give me an idea? A colored frame of a ctrl itself does not work fine with me:manembarrassed:...

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Yours F.y.

Ideas... you could use the control mode Validate which draws a red frame around the control in case of invalid values, or you could change the label color or label background color or the label style (to bold, underline...)

Wouldn't the ATTR_LABEL_BGCOLOR attribute do what you're looking for?

A big help WoflgangCat Very Happy,"Validate Red Frame" is really a nice idea,but it always came out with an out-of-range warning panel,OutOfRange.JPG

and that's quite redundant.I'll see if there is need to open another topic discussing how to make out the red frame functionally.Again thanks very much.
