UITableViews

iDeveloperz

Hi guys I know this the GS forum but the developer ones are down, does anybody know how to change the text color in a UITableView, in the ViewDidLoad protocol?

Well, I recall a "label" view, whose parent is a UIView to use these to set colors:

`[myView setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];`

and for background:

`[myView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];`

Most UI views/controls are descendants of UIView, so maybe something similar for the UITableView?

ORBZ

ObjectiveC ?

iDeveloperz

yeh.

It has to go along the lines of...

something.textcolor = [UIColor WhiteColor];

ORBZ

what do the docs say?

iDeveloperz

Haven't check i'll have a look now.

iDeveloperz

No, nothing.

Have you tried my suggestion above? Most UI classes descend from UIView.

Okay, so UITableView supports "backgroundColor" from its inheriting from UIView. The UITableViewCells, used within a UITableView, support "textColor" and "selectedTextColor" as well as "backgroundColor" from them also inheriting from UIView.

And remember, setting color properties to "nil" raises exceptions.

Right this is my app so far...
