TUI Changes Grid Colors

[forskare]

My TUI has a button which opens a grid. There is a child grid linked to the grid and a grandchild grid linked to the child grid. The grid and grandchild grid Style property is set to <Project>. The child grids' style property is set to Gray. Attached are 2 pics, Pic 1 shows the child grid when the parent grid is opened (not with the TUI) Pic 2 shows the child grid when these grids are opened on the TUI. Notice the column labels are blue and the lack of a frame around the grid in Pic 2.

Any idea what the cause might be or where the gremlin is hiding?

Re: TUI Changes Grid Colors

more than likely that there is conflict in the style sheet.
keep all the style sheet same and see if it works better.

Thank you gandhi,

That solved the problem but created a new one. Now that all grids are the same, The only way to differentiate the child grid is to set the text box phone colors different from the other grids, which is ok even though it's not what I wanted to do. Since it works OK outside of the TUI, I suspect the TUI is not acting as it should.

Thanks again,

Re: TUI Changes Grid Colors

This is interesting. I set the project properties to MobOlive and all 3 grids to <Project Style>. They should all be the same but not the one on the right. Wonder what the hic-cup is this time?

Edit: I guess the grids are the same but the Detail section has a bit to be desired. I'll try changing it in the Styles

Re: TUI Changes Grid Colors

is this from a tabbed_ui interface?
if yes did you set the tabbed ui to project style?

edit: looks like you are using split-view right to display the detail section, it does render differently than a pop up modal window.

NO, just linked Grids

It does appear that the TUI cannot handle the grid settings. I changed the child grid style to Bluish and in the grid setup, it works great. Open the linked grids in the TUI and the colors change on the child grid, the one set to Bluish. Then, I set the TUI to Bluish and left the linked grids as Project Stile, Bluish and Project Style. That produced a Bluish-Green color for the grids set to Project Style and a Greenish Blue color to the Bluish grid. It looks fine so I'll leave it. The moral of the story. The TUI cannot, will not remain independent of the grids. Thus, one must play around to get a desired result. If a specific color is needed, you might not be able to achieve that.

Re: TUI Changes Grid Colors

moral of the story is :
alpha should have one style at project level not at every individual component level since many components are needed to work together in a project. and the css sheet should easily editable by us. try editing any css file it is a nightmare
they should have kept the program logic and css separate. then anybody using the component need not worry about css, and somebody who wants their own css they can still do it.

Absolutely!!! I watched nearly all of the videos on this and came away with two thoughts.

1. Much, too much effort was put into setting this up. Describing it as a nightmare only begins to touch the surface. It is quagmire, a swamp of no return. So deep that when a changed is made, one needs a road map to get back to where the change was made.

2. I came away with the attitude, that this is much too time consuming to even begin to understand. It is a full time job in itself to manage. It must be simplified. There is no need for a developer to have access to every nook and cranny but rather general features such as the the fields' In-Line Style property offers. I see no reason why it cant be set up the same way.

I agree with you 110%.
