Complex Grid Field Styles or Exceptions

[Michael Monschau]

Hi Gav,

I demonstrate how to do this in my Notation session at EurOmnis, using a single line of code to change the foreground colour of a background text object in the grid.

I am debating whether I should tell you now or make you come to my session :)

Here is the line strait from my session

Do iList.$sendall(iGridRef.$objs.Text.[iList.$line].$forecolor.$assign(pick(iList.Value,rgb(x,x,x),rgb(y,y,y),etc)))

the bit [iList.$line] is the grid exception bit so each line gets the exception based on a value in the list

Hope this helps

Michael
