Hello Forum  
I would like to set the foreground colour for text within a table based on an expression.  
For example, set the table row to red foreground  
if the column value \> event.source.parent.getComponent(‘myValue’).text,  
otherwise leave as black.  
Thanks and regrads  
Steve Hargraves

Use a Power Table and configure the “configureCell” extension function on the Power Table. That’s how to do it.

Thankyou Nick for the prompt reply.  
I have uncommented the supplied code & found that this is a useful tool.  
Do you have other code examples showing further use of the extension function capabilities ?  
Thanks again.
