Active / Inactive color settings not working

zagzebski — Fri, 08 Aug 2014 02:33:35 GMT

I have tried many different combinations of font and background colors on the Caption tab for "Inactive Caption" and "Active Caption" in a text box and a button. However I can't get anything to change colors when I select or deselect the button/text box. Is there some kind of setting I am unaware of? Seems like it should be simple but I can't get it to change no matter what I do????

In addition I don't even have the rounded corners selections on the Layout tab.

Thanks in advance.

HI,

For Round Corner you need to enable

Settings -> Document Properties -> Set Styling Mode as Advanced

If you click on the chart then the Chart will be in active state and if you click outside the chart then it is automatically inactive, I am not sure why you are trying that with button.

In case if you need to change the button then you can do it by using variable with button and calculated expression for color.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.

Hi Zagzebski,

As the settings you are referring to relate to the caption, if you aren't seeing any change perhaps you are simply forgetting to turn the caption on? I've not had a problem with getting different colors to display for active / inactive captions. If you want the background color of the button or text object to change then apply Jagan's suggestion.

Thanks much - don't know what I was thinking. Just because it is a text box it still has a caption checkbox!

This worked wonderful to fix an issue for me with a current selections box where the caption box WAS checked... After setting this drop down to advanced I toggled back to the simplified view and the color change held.
