There's another approach to this that does away with the need to set colors at all.
Some folks on this list have shown me in the past how to create an image with its fillgradient set in such a way that it has alternating lines in the required colors at the same height as the line height you are dealing with, then setting it as a backgroundpattern. I've always used this in conjunction with a scrolling field with many lines of data but it sounds this table is made up of many text fields, probably grouped, so I tried it with a group of text fields.. Set the group's backgroundpattern to the id of the image. Set the group's opaque to true. Set the opaque of the fields in the group to false. All works fine. Group can be resized and the backgroundpattern adjusts accordingly and you no longer need any code to set line colors except for indicating the selectedline which I'd probably do with another image with an appropriate background which gets positioned wherever the user clicks.
