	you might want code something like: void YourCXTPReportRecordDerivedClass::GetItemMetrics(XTP _REPORTRECORDITEM_DRAWARGS* pDrawArgs, XTP_REPORTRECORDITEM_METRICS* pItemMetrics) { ASSERT( (NULL!=pDrawArgs) && (NULL!=pItemMetrics) ); if( (pDrawArgs->pRow->GetIndex() == rowNumberYouWantToColour) && (!pDrawArgs->pItem->IsPreviewItem()) ){ pItemMetrics->clrBackground = RGB(245, 245, 245); } } see Codejock Samples--> ReportSample-->MessageRecord.cpp-->CMessageRecor d::GetItemMetrics Hope that helps...

	Thanks Warren ! But this function is called when the populate() fn of the rpt cnt is called, i.e when the record is initially shown the back color is applied ! my requirement is there are already around 10 records shown and when a user clicks a button .. the 2 row should be colored ! i hope u understand !

	Maneesh, There is only one way to customize colors - override GetItemMetrics or catch corresponding notification - XTP_NM_REPORT_GETITEMMETRICS. But you can apply that for following classes: CXTPReportRecordItem::GetItemMetrics CXTPReportRecord::GetItemMetrics CXTPReportRow::GetItemMetrics I can't see what is a problem to call Populate. May be try to call RedrawControl instead of Populate. -- HTH, Serge
