[Openroad-users] Ellipseshape in a tablefield...

[Andrew]

Of course it "dates" the product. You should have said something like... 
Someone left the door open and the marketing people are here (quietly 
chanting - M$ do it, so we must do it...etc).

>> Exactly... In my other screens where I have ellipseshapes (not in tablefields), I use up to 3 or 4 colours to show the status of some condition. Impressed my boss at the time. Little legend off to the side of the screen, showing each colour and status/description, very cute.

IF I also combine images with on/off text I get problems, some weird behaviour with the dotted outline around the text stays on even when the cursor has moved onto the next field  :<
