Hi,

I try to alternate the background color in a dropdown list (with a script or by configuration), is there anyone who knows how to do this? I take a look on the web and in this site but I did not find the solution. I saw the attribut AlternatingItemColors, but still don't know how to use it in the form, script or xml source. I'm developping with Livecycle Designer v8.0. Thanks for your help!

"AlternatingItemColors" is a Flex property. It doesn't have anything to do with LiveCycle Forms.

You cannot alternate item colors in a combobox list in a LiveCycle Document. It would be nice if there were programable item features, but there aren't. Mostly because LiveCycle is a Forms format, not an application platform.
