Changing colour of a Button on Form Load from value in a List

Posted on by gherkin12

Good evening all

hopefully a quick question for you all.

I have an initial main form with several buttons on it linked to another screen (data on that screen depends on the label of the button). I have a connector setup which loads the relevant data from ListA on the screens the buttons are linked to.

What I would like to do is have the buttons on the main screen change colour (on form load) depending on the value of one of the columns in the ListA. This would give the users an immediate visual identification of what is working and what isn't

For example

Box_name_column	Serviceability_column
1	Works
2	Partial
3	U/S

Works=Green, Partial=Yellow, U/S=Red

Many thanks for you help

thank you kindly for the suggestion, however i can't seem to get it to work. Would it need to call the ID of the list entry in order to associate it with that particular button. When I click on the button to load up the screen associated with it, I do reference the ID of the entry in order to pull the details.

So i have your formula in the Fill of the button. in OnSelect I have:
Navigate(scr2, fade); Set(var1, "Box 1"); Set(var2, "1");
There are 2 variables for a reason, one gives the text to a label, and the other is linked in the whats called on scr2.

Unfortunately i can't supply any screenshots i'm afraid.
