Hi,
The Apex does have substitution variable ROW_STATUS that is used in the Report template to highlight the current row.
In order to use it you have to modify your Report Source Query and select the value of 'SELECTED' in the column ROW_STATUS
(Just a quick example - say your page is 200 and you set your required item P200_EMPNO to the required value):
SELECT empno, ename ,
CASE WHEN empno = :P200_EMPNO THEN 'SELECTED' ELSE NULL END
as row_status
FROM emp
What happens upon rendering the page is that Report Template replaces all occurences of row_status='SELECTED' with the value defined in Column Template of the Report Template. E.g.
<td class="yourCSSclassSelected" #ALIGNMENT#>#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>
Open you Report Template and under Column Templates specify(if it is not already there):
for Column Template 1 (which will be used for all rows that does not have the SELECTED status)
<td class="yourCSSnotSelected" #ALIGNMENT#>#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>
Column Template 1 Expression
NVL(UPPER('#ROW_STATUS#'),'x') != 'SELECTED'
for Column Template 2 (which will be used for the row that does have the SELECTED status)
<td class="yourCSSclassSelected" #ALIGNMENT#>#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>
Column Template 2 Expression
NVL(UPPER('#ROW_STATUS#'),'x') = 'SELECTED'
You can modify yourCSSclassSelected in your style sheet to create the desired colour etc.
If you are using standard Apex templates it should be already there so just include something like
CASE WHEN empno = :P200_EMPNO THEN 'SELECTED' ELSE NULL END
as row_status
in your Source Query and check that the currently selected record background color is changed in the case empno = :P200_EMPNO
Hope it helps.
