A request was made by my users to "highlight" some specific items in

to this I used Group bars in 7.6. I assigned a component ID to the
sub-nodes that they wanted to be highlighted, but I cannot seem to
find a property command that would allow me to change the color or
font of that sub-node. For the time being I added an image next to
those Items, and removed the images from the others, but my users
are not quite sold on it. Is there a property command that I am not
seeing that will allow me to control a sub-node's caption, color,
or font ? If not, anyone have any work around suggestions?
Frank,
Here's the syntax for PROPERTY command to dynamically change the
FONT COLOR as well as background COLOR of the Tree View Nodes and
Sub-Items.
Syntax:
-- Changing Tree View Node or Sub-Item Font Color
PROPERTY <TreeViewNodeORSubItemComponentID> FONT_COLOR 'WHITE'
-- Changing Tree View Node or Sub-Item Background Color
PROPERTY <TreeViewNodeORSubItemComponentID> COLOR 'RED'
While in form designer, you may also customize the Font Color
as well as Background Color of the Tree View Nodes/Sub-Items
using the Tree View control Properties panel.
Here's how:
01. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 (32/64) Build: 9.1.5.11124 or higher
02. CONNECT RRBYW17
03. Database Explorer | External Forms | RRBYW17
04. Form Designer | Tree View Control | Object Properties | Nodes
Notice the additional panel [Node Colors]

customize the Node or Sub-Item Font Color and
Background Color.
