Is there a way to set the color of a markupgrid. I have my screen set with a black backgroud, the grid cells themself are not visible only the data in each cell. Would like the cells to be a gray color but have not been able to figure it out.

you could perhaps just create a child rectangle of the same dimensions as the parent cell, and give that child rectangle the color required?

The drawing of the cells is concern of the cells themselves and not of MarkupGrid, right?
I.e. the "MarkupGrid XML Component" that's named in MarkupGrid.itemComponentName - and then it takes care of rendering its content.
If you just put text label there, only text will be drawn. If add a bounding box, box will be drawn and so on...
(i am speaking by merely having had a glance at TFM, so correct me if wrong)

I believe you are correct. I think the solution is to create a rectangle, at least that what I have done, set color of rectangle and size to match the cell size. Really wish there was a setting for background color that could be set like widths, heights etc.
Thanks for the input
