List View Question

Is it possible while in list view to have every other line an alternating color?????? Please say yes...

Yes.

You have to create two fields:

gkBkgrnd - repeating global container field (2 repetitions)

cBkgrnd - unstored calculation, result type: container,

Formula:GetRepetition(gkBkgrnd, Mod(Status(CurrentRecordNumber),2)+1)

Put one background color/pattern in each of the two repetitions of gkBkgrnd. Then place the field cBkgrnd on your list layout behind all the other fields. Make the other fields transparent. Set the graphic format of cBkgrnd to reduce/expand, and set its general format to NOT allow entry into the field.

Hello Michael,

Yes... you can do as you wish... with 'alternating' background colors in the 'list' view. Two ways to do this...

1. Using a Portal (relationship) which has an option for alternating background colors

2. Using a 'list' view of the records in the current file

a. Setup the colors you want for the background

-- create a 'global repeating container' field "gCOLORbkgrnd" to 'hold' the colors you want

-- insert this field on a 'develops' layout with all repetitions showing

-- set this field 'graphic layout' to 'enlarge - center - center - NO maintain proportions'

-- copy & paste a single colored 'dot' into each repetition (browse mode)

b. Setup a the 'list' view background

-- create a 'calculation container' field "cCOLORbkgrnd" with the formula:
