Hi there.  

 

Situation - We're goin to do a read method to populate an item view with various values from a database.  

 

The end user will be able to edit/update these values in the item view by typing over the old value with the new value.  

 

We'd like any values that the end user overtypes to be in a different font color so that before the end user hits "Save" he'll be able to easily identify all the changes he made.

 

 

Any way to do that?  I have been experimenting with conditional formatting, and nothing seems to be working.

I looked at this, but it didn't seem to answer my question.  I'll dig deeper, though.

To Change the Font Color on a TextBox Control; you will want to utilize the Style Builder.


 


This will allow you to not onl change the color, but the type of Font, the Style i.e. Bold, Underline, Italic, and so on.


 


This can be found under: Properties -> General -> Styles
