conditional format

rbuser

would anyone know if it's at all possible to use conditional formatting
in a report?
for example, every date within a month of the current date should be red,
every date over a month but under two months orange and all the rest green.

thanks in advance :-)

kind regards,

M?lisande

Hi Mélisande,

You can use the report events to conditionally change a report component
based on some information. For instance, inside the Band.BeforePrint event,
you could add code to do the following...

(Psuedo code)

begin

if Report.DataPipeline['DateField'] < (Now() + 30) then
DBText.Font.Color := clRed;

...

end;

heya,

thanks for the quick response :-)
could you help me out further though?
I'm *very* new to report builder and know next to nothing about Delphi.
Could you please tell me where I should put this??

thanks! :-D

In your Report Designer, select the band that your fields are in..
Then, in the Delphi Object Inspector, select the events tab.
Double click in the space to the right of BeforePrint.
