Andrew,

Why don't you just use a ToggleField having different images
as OffBitmapLabel and OnBitmapLabel ?
The images could look like the ellipseshape.

Subject: [Openroad-users] Ellipseshape in a tablefield...

Hi All,

OR4.1 sp3 - WinXp

I am having some issues changing the bgcolor of an ellipseshape in
tablefield and require a little assistance...

I started by having about 10 entryfields and an ellipseshape (called
dot), then grouped them into a matrixfield.
Then I grouped the matrixfield into a stackfield.
Named the stackfield - col1.
Cloned the stackfield twice and called them col2 and col3.
Then grouped col1, col2 and col3 into a tablefield (called tbl1).

Now I would like to change the background colour of 'dot' when some data
changes in any of the entryfields.

My attempts so far have changed the bgcolor of 'dot' in the correct
column but for every row not just the one where the data has changed
(just like if I was using protofield but I'm not).

So I have tried a variety of 'for loops' going through the tablefield to
get to the ellipseshape - in the attached file, but today is just a cow
of a day. This could all be avoided by just using a togglefield but we
would like to use an ellipseshape if possible. Please forgive me if the
code is a little confusing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Andrew.
