Hi,

As far as I know, to make effect of the changes to a visual in realtime, you'll need to save the file as "Dynamic XML Form".

Hi,

here an example to change the font weight depending on a fields calculation.
This is FormCalc, put it into the calculate:event of the nummeric field.

var nValue = Sum(NumField1,NumField2,NumField2)
 
if(nValue >= 100) then
	this.caption.font.weight = "bold"
else
	this.caption.font.weight = "normal"
endif
$ = nValue

Hi,

In FormCalc, refer to radzmar's script.

Here's what I used to confirm yesterday which is in javascript, and this works fine in Dynamic forms.

if (this.rawValue >= 100){this.caption.font.weight = "bold";this.font.weight = "bold";}else{this.caption.font.weight = "normal";this.font.weight = "normal";}
