CHAPTER 10 Highlighting Information in Reports and Forms
Users Guide 317
In the following report, the Salary Plus Benefits column has a Shadow box
border highlighting each data value that is greater than $60,000:
To control the display of the border, you define a property conditional
expression for the column’s Border property. When you run the report,
InfoMaker changes the border of individual data values based on the condition
(value greater than $60,000).
Defining an
expression
The following illustration shows the Salary_Plus_Benefits column selected in
the Design view. To the right of the Design view, the Properties view shows
properties for the column, including the Border property. Next to the Border
property is a button for accessing the dialog box where you enter the
expression. The button displays an equals sign with a slash through it when no
expression has been entered, and an equals sign without a slash when it has.
In this example the Border property is set to NoBorder in the Properties view.
However, the expression defined for the property overrides that setting at
runtime.
