thank you for your follow up. I did discover a way of changing the text by using either javascript or jquery. the key is to grab the id of the control and work with it.
so for example if the image i provided on the question i wanted to change the color of the specific row. (this are created instances with the instancemanger).
I was able to do it the same manner i changed the whole row highlighting to soft orange (code below). the background of the row (panel) was changed to a soft orange adding a class to the panel control.
//highlights a grid row Soft Orange
function HighLightRowSoftOrange(ctrl){
var el = $('#'+ ctrl.id)[0];
$('#'+ ctrl.id).addClass("highLightRowSoftOrange");
}

Try using the style layer and then select error state and style the text box accordingly
that is not programmatically. i am trying to change it on click event of the edit button. Nice to see you again workflowuser
Just a copy/paste from another question
Try something like
myTextFieldName.font.fill.color.value = "249, 11, 8";
thanks moris but this is not a PDF or livecycle designer. this is and adaptive form. that will not work
What is the use case for changing the color programmatically?
as you see the picture above. on the adaptive form i have an edit button. when i click on the edit button i need to write with javascript in the rule editor to change the row text to a different color.
or just give me an example of how to change the color of a label programmatically in adaptive forms. in the rule editor.
Sorry Power.
Not sure about doing this via script.
I assume the Textbox field is disabled? Enabled when Edit is clicked?
Maybe use these "states" instead to set the color, using Theme Editor?
Correct using the style editor and the state of the component in the best option
these has to be dynamically at the click of the button.
I can only set one item to focus so State "focus" will not work
the item is already disabled so State "disable" will not work.
State "hover" does not make sense unless i hover on it. Nope.
State "error, success, mandatory" does not work because it is not an error, a success or mandatory.
and they all these states will change the css of every row. I tried it.
i think it should be around the way of how we create instances. and we should be able to give color to the instance field. just like we assign values to them. if the cssClassName was not a read only property then we would be able to assign a style class to the GuideBridgeTextbox.
i was looking at the Adaptive Forms Class: GuideBridge (adobe.com) setProperty but it also changes properties that are not readonly.
so any thoughts on how to change the color of a GuideBridgeTextbox in the rule editor???? i mean is a color property why does Adobe does not have a set color method?
Sorry Moris i cannot enable the field. these fields are always supposed to be disabled.
Maybe try something like this?
var myTB = document.getElementsByClassName("myTextBox")[0];
myTB.classList.add("myNewStyle");
