Colour button not displaying colour

Post by Quincunxian »

Greetings,
Just added a colour button to a form and when selecting the colour, it doesn't change the colour displayed on the button.
It stays white.
The button dose select and return a colour value when clicked.
You can't set the colour of the button either ie MyColorButton.Color = Color.yellow

Can someone else confirm this please ?

[System]
Gambas=3.15.90
OperatingSystem=Linux
Kernel=5.4.0-48-generic
Architecture=x86_64
Distribution=Linux Mint 20 Ulyana
Desktop=CINNAMON
Theme=qt5ctproxy
Language=en_AU.UTF-8
Cheers - Quin.

new form with a new color button (QT4/5):

setting the color displayed with .color or .value works ...
clicking and selecting a color works too ...

Thanks PJ,
I was using the QT4/5 component - then changed over to the qt5 and still not working.
given that it's working for you then I'd say it's a "me and my machine problem"

Thanks again for helping out.
Cheers - Quin.

i had to roll back to 3.15.2
was getting a few layout errors on 3.15.90 on gtk.
most notably the button text not showing properly (getting cut short).

I'm waiting for the next commit when that's fixed,

Only thing i can suggest (but you probably already tried) is a ColorButton1.Refresh()

If you think you found a bug though post it to the BugTracker.
If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.
