Using expressions in textColor and bgColor attributes
The
textColor
•
A color value literal
•
A hex value
•
An expression that selects a text color based on the evaluation of a Boolean expression
The syntax for an expression is as follows:
(CX operator string ? true_condition : false_condition)
The symbol meanings are as follows:
•
: the column that contains the value to test. For the current column, use
CX
column to evaluate, use
: One of these operators:
•
operator
•
: Value to compare against. A literal, such as
string
numeric:
(C2 LT 0 ? red : black)
•
true_condition
•
false_condition
If the string in the expression can be interpreted as a number, the comparisons in the expression
are interpreted as numeric. Otherwise, the comparison is a string comparison.
This code shows an expression that displays the grid element in blue if the grid element contains
the string "Pam"; or black, otherwise:
<cfgridcolumn name = "FirstName" textColor = "(CX EQ Pam ? blue : black)">
This example displays the text in red if the value in column 1 is greater than four; or black,
otherwise:
<cfgridcolumn name = "FirstName" textColor = "(C1 GT 4 ? blue : black)">
