[fxruby-users] Text color for individual items in FXTable

[Tim Smith]

Good news, everybody!  I found a thread on comp.lang.ruby about a
similar problem setting fonts for individual table items:

Like me, he found drawContent's dc parameter unusable.  His solution was
to create a new one with FXDCWindow.new.  That worked for me and I can
now set individual text colors; code below.  If no one objects, I'll
file a bug report about the unusable dc parameter.

Regards, Tim

require 'fox16'; include Fox

class CustomTableItem < FXTableItem
  attr_accessor :color

  def drawContent table, unusable_dc, x, y, w, h
    FXDCWindow.new(table) {|dc| 
      if @color and not selected?
        dc.setForeground @color
        def dc.setForeground color
          # stop super from setting color back
        end
      end
      dc.setFont unusable_dc.getFont
      super table, dc, x, y, w, h
    }
  end
end

class CustomTable < FXTable
  def createItem *parameters
    CustomTableItem.new *parameters
  end

  def setItemTextColor row, column, color
    getItem(row, column).color = color
    updateItem row, column
  end
end

app = FXApp.new
main = FXMainWindow.new app, 'Test'

table = CustomTable.new main
table.setTableSize 2, 2
table.visibleRows = 2
table.visibleColumns = 2

table.setItemText 0, 0, 'one'
table.setItemTextColor 0, 0, FXRGB(255, 0, 0) # red
table.setItemText 0, 1, 'two'
table.setItemTextColor 0, 1, FXRGB(0, 255, 0) # green
table.setItemText 1, 0, 'three'
table.setItemTextColor 1, 0, FXRGB(0, 0, 255) # blue
table.setItemText 1, 1, 'four'

app.create
main.show PLACEMENT_SCREEN
app.run
