how to change the font color of TextItem.

[zbc]

as title, i can not find such method as setFontColor(...), who can tell me how to do that?
thanks.

You can use setTitleStyle(), there are other styling methods as well.

[zbc]

thanks do you mean that i need to define css style?

[svjard]

Yes, you need to define the CSS Style.

[zbc]

in fact, i what to change the color of the text in text box, not the title, i guess, setTextBoxStyle method maybe work, right?

You can inline the CSS style too.

String orangeString = "<span style=\"color:#FFA500\">My orange string.</span>";

It's a hack, but it can be useful in the short term.

[svjard]

dczech is correct, and setTextBoxStyle yes.

UNFORTUNATELY ,dears, the in-line style does not work here, soo my code:

        name = new TextItem("name");
        String value = "<span style=\"color:#FFA500\">My orange string.</span>";
        name.setValue(value);

in the text box, just display the whole string including html tag. any suggestion?

[svjard]

That would only work for the title. You need to set the box style.

Any idea why

formItem.setTitle("<span style=\"color:green\">foobar</span>");

works but

formItem.setTitle("<span style=\"width:200px\">foobar</span>");

doesn't?

Any suggestions as how to set the width of a FormItem's title would be greatly appreciated.

Normally the title width is related to the column where it resides. You can turn title wrapping off if that's an issue.

Hi davidj6.

Do you mean

formItem.setWrapTitle(false);
formItem.setTitle("<span style=\"width:200px\">foobar</span>");

?

That didn't change anything for me.

Yes and no. If you want to change title width because a title is wrapping, you can turn wrapping off. Otherwise, make sure the column holding the title is the width you want. IF you still have trouble consider posting a full test case.
