TextEditor background

[BruceSteers]

Anyone know how to change the TextEditor controls background colour?

Setting the .background property seems to change the background behind the editor view but its main background colour remains white?

Cheers

Bruce the only way I have been able to change the background was to use GTK. Although some of my programs have had problems using it. You may not run into that problem so give it a try.

Update:
Was playing around and found GTK does not work either. However I tried the QT4 to QT5 switcher and was able to change the background. Hope that helps/

Thanks cage , i tried with all combinations of gtk 2 & 3 and qt 4 & 5 and gb.gui the switcher , nada.

I might add it to the bugtracker..

All praise the great Benoît
In case anyone wanted the solution..

Code: Select all

TextEditor1.Styles[Highlight.Background].Color = Color

There's many other highlight options too.
Pretty sure i can add to the wiki.
Will try to add some info about the TextEditor to it.
apparently gotta learn the wiki syntax first so here we go, wish me luck lol

Edit. Wasn't too much to it so i've added info about setting Background colour and pointed to the other Highlighting options on the main gambas wiki TextEditor page.
