Color code item current states

Hi Dkinsley

Try this code and let me know if it works

string bg_color_new = "";
string myCss_new = "";
string text_color_new = "#000000";
string bg_color_aff = "";
string myCss_aff = "";
string text_color_aff = "#000000";
for (int i = 0; i < this.getItemCount(); i++)
{
Item thisItem = this.getItemByIndex(i);
string thisStatus = thisItem.getProperty("new_state", "");
string thisAffStatus = thisItem.getProperty("affected_state", "");
switch (thisStatus)
{
case "Preliminary":
case "In Review":

bg_color_new = "#FFCC00"; // yellow
text_color_new = "#000000"; // black
break;
case "In Change":

case "Inactive":
bg_color_new = "#80EE80"; // light green
text_color_new = "#000000"; // black
break;

case "Released":
bg_color_new = "#55CC55"; // green
text_color_new = "#000000"; // black
break;
case "Superseded":
case "Obsolete":
bg_color_new = "#FF8888"; // light red
text_color_new = "#000000"; // black
break;
default:
bg_color_new = ""; // none
break;
}
switch (thisAffStatus)
{
case "Preliminary":
case "In Review":

bg_color_aff = "#FFCC00"; // yellow
text_color_aff = "#000000"; // black
break;
case "In Change":

case "Inactive":
bg_color_aff = "#80EE80"; // light green
text_color_aff = "#000000"; // black
break;

case "Released":
bg_color_aff = "#55CC55"; // green
text_color_aff = "#000000"; // black
break;
case "Superseded":
case "Obsolete":
bg_color_aff = "#FF8888"; // light red
text_color_aff = "#000000"; // black
break;
default:
bg_color_aff = ""; // none
break;
}

if (bg_color_new != "")
{
myCss_new = ".new_state { background-color: " + bg_color_new + "; color: " + text_color_new + "; }";
}
if (bg_color_aff != "")
{
myCss_aff = ".affected_state { background-color: " + bg_color_aff + "; color: " + text_color_aff + "; }";
}
thisItem.setProperty("css", myCss_new + " " + myCss_aff);
}
return this;
