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

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

Regards ... Chris

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

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 John Raghanti,

Can you mention in which event I need to write this script.



Thanks, and Regards

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.
