Re: How to get rid of background color of fields (forms 3.0)

You can use another terminal attribute to suppress the reverse video on your fields.

To do this, you can use the packaged procedure display_field(variable_name,display_attribute_name)

so a sample statement would be

display_field('cust.cust_id','bold')
you could put this in a pre-field or key-startup trigger ( for example )

we use wy60 and ansi terminal definitions, and 'bold' will display your field as normal text. for other terminals, you would need to check in oraterm to find the appropriate attribute to use.

hope this helps
