Hello all,

Is there any way to show in a form one frame filled with any color. I mean, I am developping one session that it must function in this way: in the form and if the item discount is 20% I want to show one frame with blue color, but if discount is 30% the frame´s color is red and finally is the discount is 40% then frame´s color is yellow. Another posibility is to show one word with the same colours.

Can anybody help me?
Best regards,
Arístides. :D

Hello,

a partial solution is to modify the variable attr.cf like this

field.xxxx:
before.field:
if something
attr.cf = 4
else
attr.cf = 0
endif

You can reverse (attr.cf =4 ) the display of the field
I tested this on display forms

Try this sample. There is only one form field "discount" on the form to demontrate the functionality.

|****************************** DECLARATION SECTION ***************************
declaration:
extern domain tcmcs.long discount
long frame.id, color

#include <bic_gc>

|****************************** PROGRAM SECTION ***************************
|****************************** ZOOM FROM SECTION ***************************
|****************************** FORM SECTION ***************************
form.1:
init.form:
discount = 0
color = 0
create.frame()

|****************************** CHOICE SECTION ***************************
|****************************** FIELD SECTION ***************************
field.discount:
after.input:
if discount < 20 then
color = RGB.GREEN
endif
if discount >= 20 then
color = RGB.BLUE
endif
if discount >= 30 then
color = RGB.YELLOW
endif
if discount >= 40 then
color = RGB.RED
endif

change.frame()

|****************************** MAIN TABLE SECTION ***************************
|****************************** FUNCTION SECTION ***************************
functions:
function create.frame()
{
frame.id = create.object(DsCgwindow, current.mwindow(),
DsNx, 150, DsNy, 44,
DsNwidth, 10, DsNheight, 10,
DsNbackground, color )

update.object(frame.id)
}

function change.frame()
{
change.object(frame.id,
DsNbackground, color )
update.object(frame.id)
}



It is difficult to draw a frame around a baan standard field, so I use a simple rectangle. You can also try other window objects.

Nice One..!!!
Is it possible to make the coloured frame Multi Occurance ?

Hmm.... All window objects overlay the standard form. But it is possible to use the variable fattr.occurnr (number of occ on form) to multiply and place the object (object id should be an array) and change the color depend on actual.occ.

Hi!!! It works very well!!!

Thank you very much for your help!!! :D

Can you post a screenshot?

This is the screenshot :cool:

can you send the screenshot of a colored occurence of a multi-occ session.
Also tell me is it possible for all the fields?

I don't have the screen shot but I know it is possible for all fields.

Conditional formatting
WebTop supports conditional formatting of data. You can define conditions to apply special formatting effects to the data displayed in ERP LN sessions. For example, you can apply a foreground color, a background color, or a warning symbol.
You can define multiple conditions per session.

Hello

I programmed it a 2 years ago.
You have to keep in track the resizing of the form and the changes of the number of displayed lines.
Dending on the header lines you have to set the startpoint. Also each new line you have to calculate as follows:

horizontal start position (first line) + number of occurances * 22

Remarks on the 27th of November 2008
I have done some rework on the script. It can now be used as an include. Also more dynamic options implemented. (Short documentation in the script)

Remarks on the 3rd. of December 2008
New corrected version uploaded.

Hello,

By extension to this nice programming tip, would it be possible to insert a tiff image in the Baan frame?
