Hi,
I am using a non data base block.In the block i want to change visual attrute of record as per some validations.I used SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY which is very inefficient if i have 20 columns.I have to use the property 20 times.is there any command which can change the Visual attribute in one for a particualar record??

Well, type faster as there's no SET_RECORD_PROPERTY of the kind you are looking for.

Copy-paste technique might help you do the job even faster (as you wouldn't have to type all the text).

I suggest writing a routine to do the 'set' and then call your routine passing the item name as a parameter. But you will still have to call the routine 20 times.

But - David explained what to do in details! What more do you need? A "routine" is a form procedure. It will have one IN parameter - item name. It will also have SET_ITEM_(INSTANCE)_PROPERTY which will set property for the item (our IN parameter).

It really isn't that difficult so - why wouldn't you do it by yourself? If it doesn't work as you'd like it to, post code you have written and someone will certainly help.

Oh, yes - in case you'd still like David to write it for you, bad news - he is off the Forum for the next couple of weeks.
