labels and (missing) format property

Classic Servoy
1

When you use labels to display data (like dates) then you can’t use the format property. It’s simply not available for labels.

What I try to do is display data without using fields that aren’t editable (and thus getting that grey background that you can’t seem to change).

Or is there another way (other than using calculations)?

–
I guess that most of these issues I encounter boil down to the fact that label objects are the same as image and button objects.
See Different classes/objects for Label, Button and Image - Classic Servoy - Servoy Community for my request to have seperate objects.

When you change the default background color to white (ot whatever other color you want) the background will be white again…

I too would like the format property of a label as a date. I hope this can happen in the future!

Also, is there no way to hack the LAF, so that I don’t get those grey gradiated fields. I would like to them to be white!

Thanks!

For now you can use utils.dateFormat to fille the text property of a label…
