MobileAppFramework_PanelNavigator_with_TabButtons

[shahzad.rashid]

Hi,

I am having a problem with CSS and wondering if somebody can help.

I created a project using the UX Component Template "MobileAppFramework_PanelNavigator_with_TabButtons", which gives CSS Tab buttons and Panel navigators to start with (see attached screenshot).

I was trying to change the colour of CSS icon and instead of making changes in style sheet, I used the "Button text inline style" property of the CSS Button. It changed the colour ok but removed the Button Focus property which suppose to change colour when CSS Button is active.

Now I am trying to bring back this change effect on button focus with no luck. I've tried removing the Button text inline style colour and checked the Xbasic code to remove any hard coded colour values but still I am not get the Button Focus property working.

If a create a new UX Component with same template then its working ok so problem is somewhere in my existing UX component.

Any idea why this is happening. Anyway to check or fix this in the code?

Or is there way to create a new UX Component and import all the controls, images, text etc. from my existing UX component? Ive done a lot work and coding which I don't want to lose.

Many thanks for your help!

Kind Regards,

Shahzad Rashid

Shahzad,

You don't say if you're trying to change the colour of ALL the buttons... e.g. from their default blue, to something else... or if you want to make all the buttons different colours.

Removing your in-line style should have worked... but then again... you mention changing XBasic code... which has me baffled. Why would you apply XBasic code to this process. Not sure what that means.

Did you touch the UX Properties, Local CSS Definitions? That's where all this magic is actually happening.

The PanelFooter surrounding the buttons has this as a Class...

iOS7PanelFooter tabBar

It's the tabBar class that we're interested in.

The UX Properties, Local CSS Definitions... has this, by default for this UX...

.tabBar .iOS7Button {  
	padding: 0px;
	font-size: 8pt;
	color: #aaa;
	background:transparent;
	border: none;
	outline: none;
}
.tabBar .iOS7ButtonPressed {  
	padding: 0px;
	font-size: 8pt;
	color: #007AFF;
}

This is what makes the buttons greyed out at rest, and blue when pressed. Changing the colour of the .iOS7ButtonPressed section will change the colour of all the buttons.

To change the colour of just one of the buttons... you could add the following to this definition...

.iOS7ButtonPressed2 {  
	padding: 0px;
	font-size: 8pt;
	color:#ff0000 !important;
}

Then, for the button you want to change... add this to the Button Class Pressed Property...

{style}ButtonPressed2

{style} will pick up the default style... in my case iOS7... and ButtonPressed2 will take over setting the icon colour to red.

To fix what you have, make sure that default Local CSS Definition is in place and that your PanelFooter class is in place.

If you're still having trouble getting it back to default, post your UX and I'll have a look.

Dear David

Thank you very much for your reply.

I am about to finish the work and then i'll be off till Thu next week, so I'll try your suggestions on return.

To quickly answer your questions:

I am trying to change colour of all the buttons to black and then when pressed change it to blue.

I first set the colour using Inline style, then I removed it and changed in .tabBar .iOS7ButtonPressed, but somehow this didn't work. The colour stays black even when its pressed.

Then I switched to XBasic code on my UX component and noticed that following part of code had colour value set in CSS Icon to black:
icon: 'cssIcon=fa fa-camera-retrohome fa-2x {color: #000000;}',

So that's where I removed the "{color: #000000;}" bit in Xbasic code.

Anyways, I may have screwed up something trying to make changes in different ways, so i'll let you know next week.

many Thanks,

Shahzad
