Change Colour Of A Variable On A Form

ricky76

I have a form that after it gets the record it goes and pulls in a value from elsewhere and populates a variable. Is there any way to change the colour of this variable depending on conditions or can this only be done with records showing on the form?

You can add this code to the OnFormat-trigger of your control:

IF decMyVar < 0 THEN
  CurrForm.txbMyVar.UPDATEFORECOLOR(255);

First, you have to give your control a name, using the Name-property!

Sorry Luc,

but this does not work for variables.

Sorry again,

it works, I did not pay attention that you have to give a name to the variable.
