There are two ways to do this.
1. Use the SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY as follow:
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(block_name, CURRENT_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE, your_attribute);
(this is for runtime)
or
Go to the block property sheet, then select your visual attribute for
the current_record_attribute(Design time).
2. Use the DISPLAY_ITEM property as follow:
DISPLAY_ITEM(item_name, visual_attribute). Note that this only affects the display of the current instance of the item.
The first option is much more simplier.
Hope this helps
