Complex Grid Field Styles or Exceptions

[Mayada Al-Kishtini]

Hi Michael,

I'm wondering if we could use this approach to apply the same change to all
objects on one row.

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

I have not tried that myself yet, so not sure if it will work or not.

Thanks,
Mayada

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(iLi
st.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
