How do I get alternate rows to show differently when a table opens?

Is this for Vision or Perspective?

On the Power Table goto Scripting → Extension Functions → configureCell, here you can uncomment the example code to enable alternating row colors. Then modify it to suit your needs.

Wow… I was thinking that there was property you select that just alternates the rows between like a default white and light grey…

There is such a property, on the plain ‘Table’ component. The power table (it’s moniker in code is literally `VisionAdvancedTable`) is a much more complicated, much more customizable, much more _powerful_ component. If you don’t need that customization, just use the regular table.
