Highlighting a row with conditional formatting

[Myron S.]

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to use conditional formatting in FM9 to highlight the row of the active record in list view. Thanks in advance.

Look at this ... unfortuntely not as straight forward as one would hope and not always reliable... I have stopped trying to achieve this.

I'm trying to use conditional formating to highlight a field in the active record during list view. Is there a function equivilent of

Get(ActiveRecord)or some other way to achieve this through conditional formating?

It's usually done by wrapping it inside itself as a selfjoin, utilizing this method:

How is this different from your other thread here:

The answer is still no.

You can, however, try the attached workaround.

Sorry for the double post, my mistake. I had intended to add to the thread on the second post and just ask if there was an equivelent to

Get(ActiveRecord)as a possible work around but posted incorrectly. my appologies. Thanks for your replies.
