Matt - thank you, but when I do that I end up with the entire display having
its color changed instead of just the button. Here are the lines of code:
final Button btnCAS = new Button(shell, SWT.NONE);
btnCAS.setSelection(true);
btnCAS.getParent().setBackground(Display.getCurrent().getSys temColor(SWT.COLOR_RED));

Hi Gil
Use this instead:
final Button btnCAS = new Button(shell, SWT.NONE);
btnCAS.setSelection(true);
btnCAS.setBackground(Display.getCurrent().getSystemColor(SWT .COLOR_RED));
the .getParent() made you change the buttons parent (the shell you used
for constructing the button) background color.
Be aware of that Display.getCurrent() may deliver null if this code is
running outside of the SWT-Thread.
Kind regards,
Armin Roth

Hi Armin - thank you, but that result was the same. Here is the code snippet
I am using.
--- cut here ---
package UI;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button;
public class PB_xxx implements INTERFACES.IF {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new PB_xxx().runTHIS(new String[] { });
}
void runTHIS(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setSize(395,80);
final Button btnCAS = new Button(shell, SWT.NONE);
btnCAS.setSelection(true);
btnCAS.setText("Contracting Administration Screen");
btnCAS.setForeground(Display.getCurrent().getSystemColor(SWT .COLOR_RED));
btnCAS.setBackground(Display.getCurrent().getSystemColor(SWT .COLOR_RED));
// left,top,width,height
btnCAS.setBounds(10, 10, 360, 30);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
}
}
--- end ---
