FIX: Text Components Are Not Brighter for Editable Controls

MORE INFORMATION

The sample code below illustrates the problem and a potential way to workaround the problem by calling brighter():

import com.ms.ui.*;
import java.awt.*;

class test {
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
  java.awt.Color c = new java.awt.Color(255,40,168);

  Frame f = new Frame("AWT Frame");
  f.setSize(320,200);
  f.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,0));

  TextArea edit1=new TextArea("Read Only");
  TextArea edit2=new TextArea("Editable (Should match brighter color)");
  TextArea edit3=new TextArea("Brighter");

  edit1.setBackground(c);
  edit1.setEditable(false);

  edit2.setBackground(c);
  edit2.setEditable(true);

  // workaround:  set background to brighter color.
  edit3.setBackground(c.brighter());
  edit3.setEditable(true);

  f.add(edit1);
  f.add(edit2);
  f.add(edit3);
  f.setVisible(true);
  }
}
				

NOTE: In the Application Foundation Classes (AFC), the UIEdit control does not change color when it is editable.
