Change Color of Cell in Table

Bastiki · 2007-11-08

I've found nothing concerning this topic in the forum. If already answered, please forgive me ;-)

Is it possible to change the backcolor of a table's cell in a form dynamically? I've found no property or function to do this.
If not, has anyone an idea how to solve such a problem?

Maybe not want you want, but it works for me.

In the OnFormat trigger of the textbox on the form:

CurrForm.Txtboxname.UPDATESELECTED(TRUE of FALSE);

This changes the backgroundcolor, but this depends upon the Windows color scheme that the end user has chosen.

Or if you want only change the textcolor.

IF TRUE then
  CurrForm.Txtboxname.UPDATEFORECOLOR(255)  //color red
ELSE
  CurrForm.Txtboxname.UPDATEFORECOLOR(0);   //color black

Thanks for the answer, but is there no way to change the color to another one?
The UpdateSelected-Method is not bad but you are restricted to use 2 colors that can differ on various clients depending on the system-settings.

No, there isn't. Only the forecolour is dynamically changeable.
