Would changing the hilite color do what you need?
Not exactly. What I'm trying to do is color each line depending on the
contents of a field of the database. This system tracks inmates and
they can be either released, in-custody, out-to-court, etc. and each one
of these would have a different color so you can see without having to
read a field someone's current status. I've used this color coded
system for over 10 years and it's quite popular with customers because
it requires them to think less.
I did test out setting column background colors and the missing piece
was setting the opaque of to true. Here is a modified version of the
example script:
private command SetForeGroundColor
if GetDataOfIndex(the dgIndex of me, "line has error") then
set the backgroundcolor of me to red
set the opaque of me to true
else
set the backgroundcolor of me to empty
set the opaque of me to false
end if
end SetForeGroundColor
This worked just like I wanted with one exception which I may not be
able to get (and I'm VERY happy with just having the colored lines).
You already have a column separator line but it would be much easier to
read across (this list takes almost 2/3rds of the screen width) if there
were row borders too. Is there some way to get both colors AND row
separator lines? I noticed that the alternating row colors kind of does
this for you but it's not quite the visual effect I was after.
