My problem was that this database is very old and still runs in ALP “compatibility” mode. So I was referencing the ALP 8.5 User Manual which does not have these new commands. That’s why I couldn’t figure out how to do it. I’d forgotten all about compatibility mode. I like that you can switch out of compatibility mode, use new commands and then switch back into compatibility mode. Very convenient and saves having to do a lot of code rewriting.

Re: AreaList Pro Column Background Color
In addition to Douglas and Armin's replies: There are seven ways to set colors in AreaList Pro, using numbers or strings. See the v9 manual on page 123: http://www.e-node.net/ftp/AreaListPro/9.9.5_Previous_version/AreaListPro_Manual.pdf And, as Douglas mentioned, the alpha channel (transparency) is fully supported… Tim: you could also give a try to CalendarSet (www.e-node.net/cs), which does this automatically (and supports drag and drop from/to AreaList Pro).

Re: AreaList Pro Column Background Color
Tim: ALP gives a lot of control over colorization. In this case, you want to color a column so the column commands are used. In addition to the docs, under “Working with Color”, the constants are listed in the Constants section of the Explorer under ALP Column Properties. The one that you’re looking for is ALP_Column_BackColor. That’s a text property so your code could look like this: $column_L:=-2 //-2 sets all columns when using the new version of ALP - it was 0 in ALP V8 $column_L:=1 AL_SetColumnTextProperty ($eList;$column_L;ALP_Column_BackColor;"#FFEE") That’s a light gray color - “#FF808080” is darker. In addition to supporting the color, the first two characters are the alpha channel ALP allows you to use some colors by name (“white", “red", "green", etc.) as well as the string of the value from the color palette (“P201”) -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Sun, May 12, 2019 at 9:34 AM Tim Nevels via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > AreaList Pro question… I have an array based area that has columns for > each day of the week.

AreaList Pro Column Background Color
AreaList Pro question… I have an array based area that has columns for each day of the week. I want to have the Sunday and Saturday columns show with a light gray background. I can set the background color for rows that have data, but the area is not always filled with data. So rows with no data show a white background. What ALP command do I use to set the default background color for a column so that it draws that color even there is no data in the area, or if the row has no data?
