Is there a way to color a column using DXL?

When I manually click the column properties there is an option to set column Text Color by attribute, and there is an option to set Background Color by attribute. I want to do this through DXL instead of manually.

I've found the DXL function that sets the Text Color by attribute: color(Column c, string AtrrName).

However, I'm unable to find the function that sets the Background Color in the DXL Reference Manual. Is there a function for this?

Solution

  • Yes, it is in the section "Columns", page 688.

    backgroundColor(set)

Declaration
void backgroundColo[u]r(Column c, string enumAttrName)

Operation
Sets the attribute enumAttrName as the background color for column c.

Example
Column c = column(1)
backgroundColor(c, “enumAttrName”)
Sets the background color for column c to use attribute enumAttrName.
Column c = column(1)
backgroundColor(c, “”)
Removes any previously configured background color attribute for column c.
