How to change to colour of a rdlc text field

colorsexpressionrdlc

I'm using a rdlc report.

I have a text field 'surname' and a boolean field 'sales'.

Depending on the value of the boolean field I want the text to be red or black.

Looking at examples I should be changing the text color.

But the label on the dialog box when I select 'expression' says 'Set expression for:Value' but I think I should be a able to select to set the expression for color.

I have the following expresion but it just displays the text "Black" and "Red" in the text box.

=IIF(Fields!sales.Value,"Black","Red")

Seems like you are putting expression for value of Textbox. Instead put for Font Color

=IIf(fields!sales.Value = "true","Black","Blue")

To set expression for fontcolor Textbox properties --> color --> Expression.

Let me know if it works for you

For single color foreground color

label.setForeground(Color.RED)

For multiple foreground colors in the same label:

(I would probably put two labels next to each other using a GridLayout or something, but here goes...)

You could use html in your label text as follows:

frame.add(new JLabel("<html>Text color: <font color='red'>red</font></html>"));

which produces:
