Dynamically Change Background Color - Niceform

[rlmeyer]

I searched through the forum for how to dynamically set the background color for a field, and came up with this thread... http://forums.nicelabel.com/viewtopic.p ... olor#p2113

Are form objects still not exposed in the current version of Nicelabel? I wanted to set a field to have a background color of red when its variable is < 0. Of course when the variable is > 0 the background color would be change back to white. Is this possible with vbscript in Niceform?

Thanks,
Richard

No, still not possible.
Still on the wish list.

You might use the workaround with the Picture objects.
You could place a Picture object beneath another object and assign the image name to it. From VB script you can control which value (=image from the disk) the Picture object will display.

See the following sample.
"c:\Program Files (x86)\EuroPlus\NiceLabel 5\Samples\Forms\Print.xff"

The selected edit field blinks, but not because that would be built-in feature, but because behind the edit field is a Picture object that has been assigned with the animated GIF. If the object is not selected, it does not blink.
