How to give a DBText component a other color when a value is like below zero?

rbuser

Hi All,

I have some reports which show loads of data. What i would like to do is
give a DBText value a other color when it is below a value.

For example: When DBText value is lower then 0 then DBText value's color
must be red.

Is there such a property for a DBText? Or is this property available in a
newer version of Report Builder?

Because at this moment we are using Report Builder Enterprise Edition
version 7.04.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

There is no built-in feature to change the color of a text component based
on its value however, this can be done by checking the field value in the
DetailBand.BeforePrint event. Something like the following...

if Report.DataPipeline['MyField'] < 0 then
ppDBText1.Font.Color := clRed
else
ppDBText1.Font.Color := clBlack;
