How to change group color in xp style

[Isaac Jones]

Hi everyone

somehow I have problems setting a different color for a group running the win xp style. the default color with xp style is always blue. if i change it to any other color it's still blue. the xp style seems to overwrite it. is there any way i can change the color with a hack or something or got anyone any other ideas? thanks in advance.

with kind regards

Isaac,

Could you provide us with a snippet of your code that shows what you're trying to do?

Hi Howard

well, all I'm trying to do is the following:

Group group = new Group(composite_2, SWT.NONE);
group.setForeground(Display.getCurrent().getSystemColor([B]SWT.COLOR_RED[/B]));
group.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL, GridData.FILL, true, true));
group.setLayout(new GridLayout());
group.setText("Some GroupName");

My problem is now that the groupname is not red as it should be, it's still blue (because I'm running the application with xp-style). now is it possible to still get a red groupname even though running the xp-style which makes it blue?

regards, Isaac
