Does anyone know how to get column headers from an Addtable to print with white letters on a black background? I am able to change the background but the foreground font is table wide. If it is not possible in Addtable can this be done using some other OIPI function? Perhaps textbox?

Thanks,

John

John,

I actually went over this at the last conference in Las Vegas. This is the quick way to get this done by using only Font and AddTable:

Black =1

Normal =Tahoma":@FM:20

Reverse=Tahoma":@FM:20:@FM:@FM:@FM:@FM:@FM:@FM:White$

rv=Set_Printer("FONT", Reverse)

rv=Set_Printer("ADDTABLE", "

This will give you something like this:

What you've basically done is append two tables together - with different fonts for each one. You can also do the same thing using black rectangles (RECT and FILLSTYLE) and white text.

This will do it. To get again black text in the actual report you have set font to black with Font=0.

$Insert Colors

Font =Arial'

Font=8 ;* Fontsize

Font=0 ;* Normal

Font=16777215 ;* White

x=Set_Printer('FONT',font,fontSpacing)

x=Set_Printer('ADDTABLE',colFmt,colHeader,'',Black$,White$,0,TB_ALL)
