another way ( rigid ( ABCDE... only ) but faster.
AND NOT HARD CODED !!!

* grid Init
this.addproperty("statusColor[3]")
this.statusColor[1] = 0xFF0000
this.statusColor[2] = 0x00FF00
this.statusColor[3] = 0x0000FF

this.Setall('DynamicBackColor';
,'this.statusColor[ASC(manifest.status)-64]')

extreme rigid but faster:

this.Setall('DynamicBackColor';
,'BITLSHIFT(255,8*(ASC(manifest.status)-65])')
