Local_border_color of an msgbox

How-to
#1

Description

Hi
I try to change the local_border_color of btns in an msgbox. but when I try to do this by:

lv_obj_set_style_local_border_color(msgbox_confirmation, LV_MSGBOX_PART_BTN, LV_STATE_DEFAULT, LV_COLOR_RED);

I get a hard fault. Not sure but it seems a bug to me. So I would appreciate it if someone checks this and let me know if it is.

What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?

stm32f429, GCC, cubeide

What LVGL version are you using?

v7.11

What do you want to achieve?

What have you tried so far?

using this code:

lv_obj_set_style_local_border_color(msgbox_confirmation, LV_MSGBOX_PART_BTN, LV_STATE_DEFAULT, LV_COLOR_RED);

Hmm, it seems to work for me on STM32F7 (using v7). It might be worth double checking that msgbox_confirmation is not NULL?

No it’s not. because I can change other style features like:

lv_obj_set_style_local_text_font(msgbox_confirmation, LV_MSGBOX_PART_BG, LV_STATE_DEFAULT, &lv_font_montserrat_22);
#4

This works as expected in the simulator. Can you provide a back trace from the hard fault?

Make sure you call lv_msgbox_add_btns before you add any styles to LV_MSGBOX_PART_BTN. This works in the simulator:

    static const char * btns[] ={"OK", ""};
    lv_obj_t * msgbox_confirmation = lv_msgbox_create(lv_scr_act(), NULL);

    lv_msgbox_add_btns(msgbox_confirmation, btns);
    lv_obj_set_style_local_border_color(msgbox_confirmation, LV_MSGBOX_PART_BTN, LV_STATE_DEFAULT, LV_COLOR_RED);

If I swap lines 3 and 4, it faults.

Not sure if this problem can be avoided by code but if it can’t I think it should be declared in the documentation.
what do you think?

I agree with updating the documentation.

For v7, we could add a condition somewhere in the style code to prevent dereferencing a null style list, but the operation will still be a no-op, which isn’t really any better and could be even harder to debug.

The issue is that the button matrix which the styles are stored on doesn’t get created until lv_msgbox_add_btns is called. My guess is that this was implemented as a memory-saving measure for the case where a message box is created without buttons.

In v8 it looks like the button matrix is always created so this won’t be an issue.

I’ve just added a note to the v7 docs for this.
