Hi All,
I am using webfocus maintain.In one of my form,I have a combo box which has multiple values.What I want is when a user select some value in the drop down the background and font color of the combo box changes automatically as per the selection.For different values the background and font color would be different.How can I handle this situation in Webfocus maintain?Please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

Ok - This is PRETTY straight forward. I assume you want to do it with JavaScript as opposed to a Maintain Case? If you use JavaScript then the change is instantaneous. If you use a Maintain case you have to do a round trip to the server.

This code allows you to check for index or value. Here I am using Movie Titles from the Movies File and the name of my combobox is ComboBox1. You must loop through the entire box and change each row.

Let me know if you have any question.

function OnComboBox1_Change ( ) {
var sel=Form1.ComboBox1.selectedIndex+1;
var sel2=Form1.ComboBox1.options[Form1.ComboBox1.selectedIndex].text;
for (i=0; i < document.Form1.ComboBox1.options.length; i++)
{
if (sel2 == "JAWS")
{ document.getElementById("ComboBox1").options[i].style.color = "red"; // foreground coolor
document.getElementById("ComboBox1").options[i].style.backgroundColor = "yellow"; } // background color

if (sel2 == "CITIZEN KANE")
{ document.getElementById("ComboBox1").options[i].style.color = "blue";
document.getElementById("ComboBox1").options[i].style.backgroundColor = "green"; }

if (sel2 == "CABARET")
{ document.getElementById("ComboBox1").options[i].style.color = "green";
document.getElementById("ComboBox1").options[i].style.backgroundColor = "pink"; }
}

}
