SetDefaultControlColors

Valid for: CANoe DE • CANoe4SW DE

​
Function Syntax

void SetDefaultControlColors(char[] panel, char[] control);

​
Description

Sets back the background and text color as defined in the Panel Designer: certain panel controls. The panel is accessed by its individual panel name that is entered in the Panel Designer.

​
Parameters

  • panel: Panel name, restricted to 128 characters. "" – references all loaded panels. If you open a panel the first time, the panel is loaded. If you close the panel, it remains loaded.
  • control: Name of the control, restricted to 128 characters. You can only activate/deactivate the control with its name. In the property dialog of the control, its name is assigned/displayed. If you want to use the name of a symbol (signal or system variable), ensure the control has no name instead of the individual control’s name. The name of the system variable or signal could be specified as follows:
    • The form for signals is: "Signal:<signal name>".
    • The form for system variables is: "SysVar:<name of system variable>". The namespace must not be used.
    Note: Symbol assignment is not case sensitive. If you want to access all elements of a panel, the notation "" is used. Example:
    • "Signal:SleepInd"
    • "Signal:easy/MotorState/EngineSpeed"
    • "SysVar:SysVarTester" (for a system variable defined with namespace TestSysvar in the configuration)
    Note for ‘CAPLOutputView’ Control: When changing the background and text color, only the following/future output — using putValueToControl — is colored with the new one. The existing output stays unchanged in color.
