Hi,
I was asked to change the background color of a tab label (in fact, when fields in the tab are filled).
If the color can’t be changed, is there a way to change the label (I would append an asterics at the end of the caption for instance)…
Of course, all in Lotus script :-))
Can somebody tell me if it’s possible ?

You can exactly change the background color of the tabl label, but you can change the background color of the whole tab. You can also simulate changing the background color of the label by creating a tab with a specific color and then putting a Fit To Window table that fills up the whole tab body with a different color. I was just showing this technique in Munich in my Rich Text Tips, Tricks & Techniques session at the Admin & Developers Conference a few weeks ago. If you want a sample showing that, send me e-mail at Ben (at) GeniiSoft.com and I’ll send it along. It is all hand done, so there are no third party products or anything, just a technique that is easy to apply.
Now, if you really want this to happen with LotusScript, as opposed to just setting it, you would have a slightly tougher job. You could use DXL and export the whole doc/form, or you could use a third party product such as our Midas Rich Text LSX to set the color.
