coordinating with the Object Library for consistency.

warning for the user's consideration; if he mistakenly inputs

Task Solution:
Let's assume we have created and set a visual attribute named 'VA_NAME'. Now, all we need is to recognize how we can use it. Pls. follow and apply such useful code samples:
·
Set an item background color for all records:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME', BACKGROUND_COLOR,
'VA_NAME');
·
Set an item background color for one record:
SET_ ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME', record_number,
VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, 'VA_NAME');
·
Set background color for the current cursor record:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',
CURRENT_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE, 'VA_NAME');
·
Set an item prompt font to bold for all records:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME', PROMPT_FONT_WEIGHT,
FONT_BOLD);
·
Set an item prompt font to normal for all records:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME', PROMPT_FONT_WEIGHT,
FONT_NORMAL);
7 Steps To Highlight Current record:
1. Select a visual attribute node.
2. Click on the green (+) sign to create a new visual attribute
3. Name a visual attribute it e.g. VA_CUR_RECORD
