How Do You Change the Color of a Record in NAV

jmcit

Hello,

I need to highlight in red a record in NAV given a condition is met.

When trying to do this on a form it reports ...

The Dynamic Property 'ColorSet' cannot be changed in this context. Please could you advise.

Thank You

You need to handle the condition in the OnFormat trigger and use the property UPDATEFONTCOLOR:

OnFormat(VAR Text : Text[1024];)
IF .. THEN
  CurrForm.Status.UPDATEFORECOLOR(255)
ELSE 
  CurrForm.Status.UPDATEFORECOLOR(0);
END;

Thanks for your reply.

How do I do this for an entire record rather than just a field on a form ??.

Must be done on every single field as far as I remember.

Yep... you should set the color on each of the controls you want changed one by one.

STILL GETTING THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE WHEN USING THE format PROPERTY .

The dynamic Property Colorset cannot be changed in the context.

You tried to change the ColorSet to on the TextBox named Service Item No.

Please help

The property you modify through the code is Forecolor using the function UPDATEFORECOLOR. (See the example that geordie posted before).

Many Thanks for all your contributions I now have this working as expected. Just a pity that there is not a single command to highlight an entire record rather than having to set the property on each field. ](*,)

I think you are missing a small detail: this is related to the classic client, not the RTC client....
