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.
