Hello, I just tried to set background color to a button and I noticed this:
We use Windows 8.1 and OpenEdge 11.6.3 but I can't set background color to my button, and the message still says I can`t do it because I use Windows XP.
I found this KB article http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/P8351 , but it says the problem goes until Progress 9.X and, as I said, we are in 11.6.3
Is there a known solution?
The message is poorly worded. You can't change the background color of a standard button on Windows. The message is showing the value of SESSION:WINDOW-SYSTEM, which is "MS-WINXP" for all versions of Windows. We didn't change it when the next version of Windows came along because many people had written code checking against "MS-WINXP" and changing it would break their code.
But, again, you can't change the background color of a button regardless of what version of Windows you're using.

I suspected it from the beginning! (¡lo sospeché desde un principio!), as a dear TV character said when I was a kid, long time ago.
Thank you, Matt.
I think the article in knowledgebase.progress.com/.../P8351 needs to be updated.
Who can I say that to?
Hi Ezequiel,
At the bottom of each article there is a question "Was this article helpful?". If you answer No to that question you can add comments to it suggesting what's wrong with it.
