Hi Expert!

Just would like to ask on how to color semilar data. Like the "UNIT" column.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,

You can use BeforeDrawRow event to accomplish this...

Me.wndReportControl.SetCustomDraw xtpCustomBeforeDrawRow 'enable BeforeDrawRow event

Private Sub wndReportControl_BeforeDrawRow(ByVal Row As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, ByVal Item As XtremeReportControl.IReportRecordItem, ByVal Metrics As XtremeReportControl.IReportRecordItemMetrics)
Select Case Row.Record(3).Value

Case "BOX"

Metrics.BackColor = vbGreen

Case "CAN"

Metrics.BackColor = vbCyan

End Select
End Sub

Just assign BackColor to ReportItem when created

With Me.wndReportControl.Records.Add
    With .AddItem("BOX")
        .BackColor = vbGreen
    End With
End With

If you want more "tricks" BeforeDrawRow event is THE event to use without changing original values of ReportItem. Metrics is using "copy" of Row/Record collection and you are able to do a lot of "tricks" in it. I would recommend this rather than assigning value when creating ReportItem.

Hope this helps

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for your reply...
But what if the "unit" are more than hundreds or thousands, is there any other way not to declare the value of "unit" and group the "unit" value by color and randomly select any color.. is it possible?

thanks..
