Scott, It dosnt seem like anyone has answered you yet, so here goes,
1) define Textfield, or label colour. -foreground =>[ 0, 0, 255] , -background =>[0,255,0], 0 to 255 red,green,blue 2) you can get the handle with -handle eg $handle=$winMain->lblname()->{-handle}); JohnR From: Scott Wildenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> textfield prompt color 2002-07-10 07:14 How would I set the background color for a textfield prompt label or in a checkbox label? I can see how I might be able to set it if I could get the handle for that label, but I can't figure out how I would do that either. Is there a way to get the handle for a control that you have a name for but that you don't have a reference for? ############################################################## Disclaimer If this e-mail has been sent to you in error, please notify Océ-Australia Limited immediately and delete this e-mail from your system.
