Is it possible to set a color for an entire column (red - green etc)  - I have several columns in a grid that I would like to Color code.

Thanks

Hi Maxbear,

It certainly is. It is a 2 step process:

  1. In Tools > Options > 1.2.15 (Show Field Color), set to show color on the header and / or Cell
  2. For the column, open Field Properties and set the field color in the General section

You may need to close the grid and re-open it

See later post on how to easily do this

Thank you for your prompt reply.

As usual i can't get this working (I'm sooo slow)

I can get the header set in color but can't seem to setup a color for the entire column.  

Can someone step by step me to get a full column in color of my choice.

Help!

 

 

 

 

1. Go to Tools|Options and filter/search for "show field"
2. Select if you want color to show on the header, the cells (column) or both. Click OK.

3. Next Tools|Manage Fields.
4. Select the Field you are interested (I selected "fileName").
5. Expand the "General section" and select the color in the drop down (I selected red). Save.

That's it!

Yes. Got it it was the drop down menu to select CELLS that i was missing

Works fine. Very happy.

Thank you Pierre and Viking

 

Unrelated.- I used to have a friend from Sweden in Japan who trained Karate there and had the word VIKING written on his belt. Coolest thing ever.

Hmmmm... I am originally from Sweden and lived in Japan for a short while. However, I didn't train Karate and I didn't have VIKING on my belt, so it couldn't have been me.............

Revisiting this...

  • Simply right-click on a column header > Color > Select a color
  • The color is applied to the header and / or the item cells.
    Setting that controls this is in Tools > Options > 1.2.15 (Show Field Color)

HTH !
