In Linux, table rows showing in alternating colors. I do listen to a MouseMove event and want to get the background color of a cell using item.getBackground(i) . But, I fail to get a correct "grey" color when I pointing to a "grey" row. What it return is always white. Anyone has idea about it?

Hi, sorry for the late reply,

The alternating line colours are gtk's native implementation of
Table.setLinesVisible(true). These are not considered to be item background
colours, which is why you're always getting a return value of white. In
your scenario there isn't a way to determine whether a row's background is
coloured or not as a result of Table.setLinesVisible(true).

To clarify, there isn't a simple way to determine this. The snippet below
demonstrates getting the colour that's under a hovered pointer. If you want
to get the white/grey colour of a TableItem you can do something similar by
getting the colour of its top-left corner pixel where the text or image
should not reach. The only case this doesn't help with is if an item is
selected, in which case it will always evaluate to "not white".

public static void main(String[] args) {
final Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setBounds(10,10,200,200);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
final Table table = new Table(shell, SWT.NONE);
table.setLinesVisible(true);
for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE).setText("item " + i);
}
table.addListener(SWT.MouseHover, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
GC gc = new GC(table);
Image image = new Image(display, 1, 1);
gc.copyArea(image, event.x, event.y);
if (image.getImageData().getPixel(0, 0) == 0xFFFFFF) {
System.out.println("white");
} else {
System.out.println("not white");
}
image.dispose();
gc.dispose();
}
});
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}

HTH,
Grant

Hi Grant Gayed,

Really thanks for your reply. I think I can take your way in some cases in my application.

Moreover, though you said alternating line colors of table is native gtk's implementation, I think it's quite confusing that the api of item.getBackground(i) don't return the "actual" color of a row. Just want to hear if you have any comments.

Again, thanks for your helpfulness.

Vincent
