Dear Experts,

When a row is selected in a data window, it is considered the current row and is highlighted in blue. Is it possible to change the highlighted color to something else?

Regards, and Thanks

This is what we use at the ancestor level for list datawindows. It highlights rows a certain color and also does an alternating color for the unselected rows.

 

this.Modify('DataWindow.Detail.Color="536870912~tif(getrow() = currentrow(), ' + msw.color_list_highlight + ', if(Mod(getRow(), 2) = 0, ' + msw.color_alternate_1 + ', ' + msw.color_alternate_2 + '))"')

Hi. We have it in an event, ms_setlistcolors that gets triggered in the datawindow constructor.



If you change dataObject at any point, you would need to trigger it again.

Hi Deva;

   Just place an expression on the Detail band's  colour property using an IF () command to set the colour one way if the row is current & another way if not. HTH

Could another way be by using a theme? One that only applies the selected row color?
