Setting TextViewSemanticColor on runtime

Question

I dont have NV04s , so I know that the only way to change the color in a table is trought the property SemanticColor.
I want to set this property depending the value that is in the table.
I created a Value Attribute in the context with type:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.standard.api.WDTextViewSemanticColor
I wanna bind the semanticColor property to this value Atrribute and change his value in the wdDoModifyView depening a certain conditions. But when I hit the "..." button I found that the value attribute that I created is not compatible.
what is wrong ?
BTW, some1 could tell me some links to also change the cells design in xml format (I export this table to Excel 2003 using the method of XML-Binary cache)

Answer 1

You don't need to "run through the table" etc.
Example: Say you have a context node "Stock" with an attribute "Available" of type "integer", and you want to mark  a stock item with a red color if there are less than 3 available.
Define a new context attribute "Color" of type TextViewSemanticColor (as I wrote before) under the node "Stock", set readOnly=true, calculated=true.
Then there will appear a new method
WDTextViewSemanticColor getColor(IPrivate<View>.IStockElement element)
in the view controller.
Write the following code inside the //@@begin ... //@@end block (aka. user coding area):
return element.getAvailable() < 3
  ? WDTextViewSemanticColor.CRITICAL
  : WDTextViewSemanticColor.STANDARD;
If you bind the cell editor's "semanticColor" property to attribute "Color", exactly those cells will be red, where the available stock is less than 3.
