Input

[Bruce]

I would like to change the background color with this:

Input.SetProperties("password Input", BackgroundColor);
to... not sure what color, not sure how to do it.

This will set the background to red.

Input.SetProperties("password Input", {BackgroundColor=255})

Here's a great free tool to get the color values. http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/

you don't need to know the color codes.. you can also just put red or white as the colore (works as well)

Remember that Input.SetProperties requires a table.
here I am setting the Input Background from an INI value, Journal-TextPanelColor-Color Value

INIFile.SetValue(_SourceFolder.. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\txt\\user.ini", "Journal", "TextPanelColor", String.ToNumber(cTP));
tTPc = {}
tTPc.BackgroundColor = String.ToNumber(cTP)
Input.SetProperties("Journal_inp", tTPc);

VERY confusing!
This is another example how our users guide rests on the vague side for NON-coders

Wow, that should be confusing, I posted the wrong code, sorry.
This is how I set set several properties at once, all from an INI.
But, mainly look at the table created for the Input properties.

nTPColor = INIFile.GetValue(_SourceFolder.. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\txt\\user.ini", "Journal", "TextPanelColor");
nFCColor = INIFile.GetValue(_SourceFolder.. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\txt\\user.ini", "Journal", "JFontColor");
sFont = INIFile.GetValue(_SourceFolder.. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\txt\\user.ini", "Journal", "TextPanelFont");
nFontSize = INIFile.GetValue(_SourceFolder.. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\txt\\user.ini", "Journal", "TextPanelFontSize");
nFontWeight = INIFile.GetValue(_SourceFolder.. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\txt\\user.ini", "Journal", "TextPanelFontWeight");
tTPc = {}
tTPc.BackgroundColor = nTPColor
tTPc.FontName = sFont
tTPc.FontSize = nFontSize
tTPc.FontColor = nFCColor
tTPc.FontWeight = nFontWeight
Input.SetProperties("Journal_inp", tTPc);
