Change colour of selected (active) field

[#1]

Dear all,

Is it possible to change the colours of the active (selected) and passive fields in a list?

The colour "green" is the selected field, I would like to change this to another colour...

I can't find an option to change this colours in the properties of the field, so I think I have to use an expression?

Thanks in advance!

You can create fake list boxes out of chart objects, which gives you a lot more control over formatting.  See attached example.

Unfortunately, it also prevents some list box features, such as control click to select multiple values.  It also takes more effort.  So I would recommend just using standard list boxes, and getting used to the green and gray.

If you want to use a macro, you can change the Background color of a selected field, using the following:

set up = ActiveDocument.GetApplication.GetUserPreferences

up.CustomSelBgColor(1).PrimaryCol.Col = RGB (0,0,0)

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.SetUserPreferences up

end sub

/*

indexes

0=locked

1=selected

2=optional

3=deselected

4=alternative

5=excluded

6=excluded selected

7=excluded locked

*/

Go to Settings -> Document Properties -> Triggers

I added it to "OnOpen"

Edit Actions -> Add -> External -> Run Macro

There you have to add the name of the macro.

I just realized that I forgot the first line of the code above. It should start with

"sub [name of the macro]"

I hope this helps.

When I do everything as I described the colors in the listboxes are changed as specified.

You have to save and reopen the document, because you added the action to the trigger of opening the document.

One last thing you might have to do is go to

Settings -> Document Properties -> General -> Color Scheme and choose [Custom].

Sorry if I incorrectly presumed that you already did so, because you wanted to change the colors.
