BUG: DhBulletedList.setBackColor() Does Not Color the Bullets

ID: Q197570

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual J++, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use DhBulletedList.setBackColor() in an ordered list, DhBulletedList.setBackColor() does not set the background color of the bullets.

CAUSE

Internet Explorer does not color bullets when the <OL> tag has a background- color style set. For example, the following HTML fragment displays "A" and "B" with red text on a white background, and Item 1 and Item 2 appear as red text on blue background:


   <OL style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #0000ff; COLOR: #ff0000" type=A>
   <LI>Item 1</LI>
   <LI>Item 2</LI>
   </OL>

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

In Visual J++, select New Project from the File menu.

In the New Project dialog box, click the New tab.

In the Visual J++ Projects tree, click Web Pages.

Click Code-Behind HTML.

Click Open to create the project.

Modify Class1.java as follows:


import com.ms.wfc.html.*;
import com.ms.wfc.core.*;
import com.ms.wfc.ui.*;
public class Class1 extends DhDocument
{
   public Class1()
   {
      initForm();
   }
   private void initForm()
   {
   }
   protected void onDocumentLoad(Object sender, Event e)
   {
      DhBulletedList list = new
                            DhBulletedList(DhListType.LARGE_LETTER);
      list.addItem(new DhText("Item 1"));
      list.addItem(new DhText("Item 2"));
      list.setBackColor(Color.BLUE);
      list.setForeColor(Color.RED);
      add(list);
   }
}

Modify page1.html as follows:


<HTML>
<BODY>
<hr>
<OBJECT classid="java:com.ms.wfc.html.DhModule"
     height=0 width=0 ... VIEWASTEXT>
<PARAM NAME=__CODECLASS VALUE=Class1>
<PARAM NAME=CABBASE VALUE=Project1.CAB>
</OBJECT>
<!-- Insert HTML here -->
</BODY>
</HTML>

Run the project.

Where "A" and "B" appear as red text on a white background, and Item 1 and Item 2 appear as red text on a blue background.
