Re: "Format" Trigger in Forms???(B

Hi,

i've done the same in Forms 6i. May be you can do it the same way in 4.5:

Create visual attributes (at design time) as many as you need different backgroud colors.
at runtime set_va_property to background and set_item_instance_property to Visual attribute.
Here's my post-query-trigger for that block (visual attribute are named VA1, VA2, ...

PROCEDURE pq_block_farben IS

   nWert number := :system.trigger_record; BEGIN

   set_va_property('VA'||nWert, BACKGROUND_COLOR, :farben.farbtext);
   set_item_instance_property('FARBEN.wochentag_text',nWert,
VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, 'VA'||nWert);
