Hi,

I have an application that when it opens a grid is populated , what i need to do now , is dynamically change the color of a cell depending on the value of that cell

Any clues on how i can do this?

Hey Pete
I believe this code is what you need. In this demo, if the value in the cell is 0 then change the color of the cell.

Only thing is, when the form refreshes, the colors change. You SHOULD put this code in an ONLOAD function and that should be good.

Mark


var numberOfRows = eval("window.Grid1_nor"); // evaluate entire Grid
var count = 0; // set count to zero
for (count = 0; count < numberOfRows; count++)
// for count equals 0, count less than number of Grid rows, increment count
{
val = parseInt( window.Grid1_grid[col][count] ); // evaluate integer value in column 0, row
if ( !isNaN( val ) )
{
if (val == 0) // if value equals zero
{
Form1.Grid1.QuickSetBackColor (col, count, 0xFF); // Set background color to RED
// ----- OR -----
Form1.Grid1.QuickSetTextColor (col, count, 0xFF); // Set foreground color to RED
}
Form1.Grid1.RedrawAll();
} }

Hey Pete
An Onload function is a Javascript file that you create separately and link or embed into the application. Here is the code:

var OriginalOnload = document.body.onload;
document.body.onload = LoadFunct;

function LoadFunct() {
if (OriginalOnload) OriginalOnload ();

// your code goes here

}

Once this code is embedded (or linked) to the form, every time the form refreshes, the code runs. You will need this to dynamically change the cell colors. I have a good article on OnLoad functions. Send me your e-mail and I will get it to you.

Mark
