Hi,

I have a grid where the first column is a text box, and the other columns are editboxes. I want the backcolor of the editbox to be different if the controlSource (a memo field in a cursor) is not empty. I have the following to achieve that:
FOR EACH loCol IN .COLUMNS
WITH loCol
  .FONTSIZE = 8
  .Header1.FONTBOLD = .T.	&& all columns

  IF .COLUMNORDER = 1
    .Text1.DISABLEDFORECOLOR = .Text1.FORECOLOR
  ELSE
    .SPARSE = .F.	&& so we can always see contents of memo field

** set all appts to have yellow backcolor
    .DYNAMICBACKCOLOR="IIF("+loCol.CONTROLSOURCE+"='',RGB(255,255,255),RGB(255,255,128))"
  ENDIF
ENDWITH
It works fine UNTIL I make the column/editbox Read-only - then the editbox always has a backColor of white.

To help zero in on the problem, I changed one of the columns that had an editbox to be a textbox, and the color for THAT column apprears properly, i.e., looks like DynamicBackColor works properly for columns w/read only text boxes, but not read only edit boxes.

Any help/insight to this problem? TIA. J
