hi,
i want to change the text background color as red
ex: if desc is the field in the forms and when i type the word
china in that field then that china backgroud color should change when i move to next item to red for that record alone
in the key_next_item trigger i wrote this
set_item_property('desc' backgroud_colour,'RED');
IS THIS RIGHT
only that particular record should change

@owais_baba - We're trying to encourage the OP to look up things himself, so you spoon feed him, while telling him he'll learn more if he does it himself (presumably you don't want him to learn more?).
We say you need to use set_item_instance_property, so you post an example of set_item_property.
You've seriously missed the point(s).

Thank you, both, but - I'm not the one you think I am. I'm far from being and expert - I learn new things daily, simply by reading these forums. There are million things I have never worked with or done so ... take it easy. A true Forms expert is David (djmartin), but he doesn't contribute discussions here any more (that's really bad news, but that's the way it is).
Anyway: I like the idea of sharing information. There are some complex things that require detailed (more or less) explanation; otherwise, it is difficult to solve the problem or it requires much time & effort to figure it out. On the other hand, there are very basic questions that can easily be learnt simply by reading the searchable documentation (such as the one mentioned here). We were all newbies, once. It is attitude that matters.
