Re: how to highlight records in a block with different colours?

Hi Ben,

You need to set the colour of each item individually, using the Display_Item built-in to set our own custom Visual Attribute. Call it from a Post-Query trigger. We still use the concept of a current record, by setting the "highlight" Vis Attr in a Pre-Record and setting it back to "normal" Vis Attr in a Post-Record trigger. In this case, set the Block/Item Current Record Attribute to null.
