dbColor and dbMagicCell

[Carolyn Bolton]

I want the Grid and Form to be transparent so the background color is visable and also assign a Form cell to a color based on its field value using Magic Cell. Below is the code for the Magic Cell:

TK.dbFormMagicCell="M_Status,,(#M_Status#|SW|I |bgcolor=green~" & _
"#M_Status#|SW|O|bgcolor=yellow~"&_
"#M_Status#|SW|A|bgcolor=red~" & _
"#M_Status#|EL|||)"

This works only if I use one of the 15 preset color schemes such as:

TK.dbColor= "11"

I've tried all sorts of combinations but it doesn't work, such as assigning dbColor to use my background colors, the preset colors using the Transparency=True.

Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

seemed to be reasonable to allow Magic cell TDTag to override the transparant. I'll put this in the implementation list.
