Hi Stephen

>I ws wondering if anyone was using a dynamic color for easy understandig of a grids data?
>I have a signature loan customer who will take 5 to 10 payments on a loan. I want to show in a grid for payments where the customer stands.
>Issues that come to mind are past late payments in a blue color, current payment in red and special extensions in green.

In the Refresh() method of your grid, enter the following code:
This.SetAll( "DynamicForeColor", "IIF( NumOfPayments >= 8, RGB(255,0,0), IIF( NumOfPayments >= 6, RGB( 255, 255, 255 ), 0 ) )", "Column" )
The above code sets the Foreground color to red for cases where the NumOfPayments variable is >= 8, white if more than 6, and black for all the rest. Of course, you can also set the background color in the same manner ( just change the DynamicForeColor clause above with DynamicBackColor. Also, you can play with the IIF statements to create more complicated conditions.
Since this is in the Refresh method, any change in the data will trigger it, or just issue a refresh in your code whenever you want your colors updated.
I would also recommend to lock the screen painting before this line, and unlocking it afterwards if you're going to use many colors.

Best regards
