You need to edit the background panel to make it respond to the custom Framework manager.

Open the background panel (XXX_BackgoundPane) in the Visual LANSA editor.

Display the Source tab and define your custom Framework manager (replace #EOM_CustomManager with the name of your custom Framework manager):

Define_Com Class(#EOM_CustomManager) Name(#CustomFrameworkManager) Reference(*DYNAMIC)

In the uInitialize event, set a reference to your custom Framework manager (replace #EOM_CustomManager with the name of your custom Framework manager):

#CustomFrameworkManager <= #AVFRAMEWORKMANAGER.avCustomManagerBaseReference *As #EOM_CustomManager

Then add two event routines to change the style and image on the background panel:

*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evtroutine Handling(#CustomFrameworkManager.ChangeBackgroundTextStyle) Tostyle(#ToStyle)
 
#CurrentContent.Style <= #ToStyle
 
#CurrentContent.Height := #ToStyle.FontSize + 2
 
Endroutine
 
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evtroutine Handling(#CustomFrameworkManager.ChangeBackgroundImage) Imagename(#ImageName)
 
#Image.Image <= #SYS_APPLN.CreateBitmap( ("VLFONE/Images/Black/XLarge/" + #ImageName) )
 
Endroutine
 
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly, if your background panel has a uTerminate method already, add these lines to it:

*Drop any reference to the custom framework manager
#CustomFrameworkManager <= *null

Otherwise, add a uTerminate method like this:

Mthroutine Name(uTerminate) Options(*REDEFINE)
* Drop any reference to the custom framework manager
#CustomFrameworkManager <= *null
 

* Delegate to the ancestor component in case it wants to clean up anything
#COM_ANCESTOR.uTerminate
 
Endroutine

Compile the background panel.
