setting visual attributes of items.

[hluash]

Hello developers. Here I come again yet with another query. I have a display item in my form. i want to change its background color programatically but have failewd to do this. The color should change when the item is displaying something.
I have this idea that you use
set_va_property or set_item_property but the parameters how they are written is what is beating me.
Thanks everso for the help.

You have to create visual attribute group during design time (possibly changing it by set_va_property) and assign it to your item (instance) during runtime.

set_item_[instance_]property('your_item', visual_attribute, 'your_attribute')
