LongRange Developer Forum

Hi all.

I can’t see anything obvious in the doco or forum or examples… apologies if I’ve missed something… but has anybody found a neat way to highlight data in a bound table?

For example, if I've got a local SQLite table of employees with employee number, name and salary, and that’s bound to a displayed table, is there a way that I can show the employee number value in RED if the salary is larger than 100,000?

My initial plan was to create an extra column in the SQLite table with a colour value for each row, then bind that colour value to the color property of the displayed table column;

#Com_Owner.Set_Binding Name('/Form.Fields.LIST_ONE.COL%1') Property(CONTENT.COLOR) BindToType(FLD) BindTo('COLColour')

But the syntax is obviously invalid - I get an error when I refresh the app. I suspect that I may not be allowed to bind to the color property. I note that this syntax works;

#Com_Owner.Set Property('/Form.Fields.LIST_ONE.COL%1.CONTENT.COLOR') To('BLUE')

But of course that effects the entire column – so, is there a way for me to set (on a row by row basis) the colour, or bold, or font size of data in a list… you see what I’m trying to do.

Also, on a vaguely related aside… it would also be really cool if I could do a similar thing with the disabled property of a textbox cell in a displayed table.

Anyway – any help or suggestions would be most welcome.

Cheers.

Marcus.

Hi Marcus,
Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this right now.
Over time, we will continue to expand the list of bindable properties to include properties such as Color, BackColor, and so on.
