Hi,

I am using textbox as a label because I have to change text content based on conditions. The issue is I can not hide border of the textbox. Is it possible?

Additionally, I want to change the color of this label text box. So is it possible to change color through C/AL. Right now I have a Boolean variable for StyleExpr property of control and able to switch between two colors. How about additional colors?

Thanks,

The StyleExpr is not only a boolean.

"You can set StyleExpr to either the name of a variable; a text constant in apostrophes, for example, 'strong'; or, for backward compatibility, to true or false."

The StyleExpr is a Boolean. Therefore, only able to change between default and one other style

Hi,

You can set the CaptionClass of the text box to display a variable caption. You can set this variable when the page is opened for example.

The StyleExpr would need to be variable that has one of the StyleValues.
