The following screenshot shows the
Inactive Caption
and
Active Caption
sections:
We've now set the colors used by the caption bars for this particular listbox.
We will first need to tweak a few other settings before applying this style to
every object caption in our document.
The Color Area and Color dialog windows
The
Color Area
and
Color
dialog windows that we've just worked with are
used everywhere throughout QlikView to set the color formatting of a variety
of object components.
Besides the static, solid color that we used, it is also possible to use gradients of one
or two colors. Furthermore, the colors used do not always need to be fixed, they can
be based on a dynamic calculation as well. A use case for this is to show a red color
when a certain value is below target, and a green one when it is above the target.
Calculated colors are set by using an expression with QlikView's color functions,
examples of which are
Red()
,
LightGreen()
,
Yellow()
, and so on. In addition to
these standard, pre-defined colors, any custom color can be represented using the
RGB()
function.
