Highlight not select

Hi all,

Is it possible to highlight a value i.e. today's date in a list box instead of selecting the value?

Regards

AFAIK, the styling options for values in a list box are pretty limited.

alternatives:

- Use a straight table chart's dimension instead of the list box (disable 'suppress zero values' on presentation tab and use the dimension attribute expression to format the value.

Cons: Support for selections is not as good as in a list box (e.g. selecting multiple values). Would need some more magic dimension formatting to mimic the selected values highlighting of a list box and to show the excluded values.

- Use expressions in the list box to add a text marker or one of the available mini chart / gauges representations to kind of highlight a line in the list box.

Hi Phresh,

You can write an expression like this in list box,

=if(Date=Today(),'qmem://<bundled>/BuiltIn/check_g.png')

You can have a view for current date as sign preceding it.

PFA.

Hope this helps,
