Hello,

I have a xml file which contains in one of its parameters an item and a color value in hexadecimal format.

And I want to List the items, but I would like that the font color of each item was the color of the value which results in color colum.

Example:
....
<myitem color= "#0080ff"> myitemNameA </myitem>
<myitem color= "#990000"> myitemNameB </myitem>

I retrive the columns ItemName and ItemColor (OK), and i want to generate the following output:
Items List
Name Other item properties
myitemNameA
myitemNameB

But i can't find hoe to place an expression in the color font.

Is it possible to do this? I could use styles however I had to create a style for each possible colors (it wold take me some hours,lol)

Is there any solution out there?

Use an onCreate script on the data item with something like the following:


//get the column binding for the font color
var fc = this.getRowData().getColumnValue("FontColor");
this.getStyle().color= fc;
