conditional-formatting.png

Hello,

In my code I assign the string "HIGH" to a TextBox in my Report. The report shows the value "HIGH" correctly in the report. I would like to format the TextBox in such a way that the text's colr is Red when it contains "HIGH". Therefore I have created a Conditional Formatting Rule saying that if TextBoxName.Value = ="HIGH" (see attached image) the the style should have a red font color.

However this does not work. Dies conditional formatting work if the value of the textbox is assigned directly through code?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jeannot Diderrich,

In expressions, you cannot refer to some report item in the report using its identifier / Name. Full list of the supported constructs and more information on expressions you may find in the help chapter Expressions.

However, expressions do provide a way to refer the current item - the one which property uses the expression with the global object ReportItem:

=ReportItem.Value

And the whole filter would be:

=ReportItem.Value = ="HIGH"

or just

=ReportItem.Value = HIGH

as the ="HIGHT" evaluates to constant anyway.
