Are you able to access UI properties through MBO custom Java extensions?
I would like to change the color of a field based on some criteria and would like to do it in pure Java if possible.
Thanks!
Just curious what requirements do you have that makes you want to create a custom class versus using the conditional formatting already available.

Hi,
Your first choice should always be to use the tools available in Maximo. In this case a condition and then use the application designer to make the color change.
That way when you upgrade you do not have to reinvent the wheel. Also when you are no longer working on Maximo the company does not need a Java programmer to reverse engineer your code to find out what it's doing.
I have several fields where we change colors based on the data presented and all of these are using conditions and the tools available in application designer.

Thank you for your answers.
My requirement is to add functionality to the Work Order Tracking (Tr) application that does not currently exist.
When the user creates a WO and selects an asset, if there is a warranty associated with that, they want the warrant data to display in a new "Warranties" tab in the Work Order application, and turn the asset field a new color if warranty information does in fact exist. They also want the warranties tab hidden if no warranty data exists.
I had planned to do this in a custom field level class on ASSETNUM attribute in WORKORDER, and handle all of this via the action() method.
If you guys have any ideas on how to implement this requirement without a customization, I would love to hear them.
Thanks!

They are aware that you can view the Warranty information for that asset by doing
Select Action / View / Warranty Information
Right? (Of course, I’m assuming that we’re dealing with V7, here). Maybe they would be happy with just an indicator that tells them that warranty information exists (like the Long Description indicator or the Linked Documents indicator).

Hi,
You need a condition that runs a query to look for any active warranty for the work order asset and it should always evaluate.
Then in application designer you can use that condition to change any field color.
You should also be able to use that condition to restrict access to the warranty tab. You may not be able to hide it but you should be able to "gray it out" so they cannot use it.

Thank you guys.
This is working like a champ! You have been a great help.
One more question pertaining to my requirement. I would like to make a field required as well if my condition returns true. I put the condition on my field in App Designer setting the property inputmode to required if it evaluates true. It is not making the field required. Is there a "required" property I am overlooking somewhere?
Thanks again.

One more quick note on my last post. I am trying to make a checkbox required. The inputmode=required works fine on a textfield attribute, but doesn't seem to work on a checkbox attribute.
I am in 7.1.1.6. Not sure if this is a known bug, or if I am just using the wrong property.
Thanks!

It is working the way it was intended. Check boxes are 'yorn' fields (yes or no) and you set a default when the field is created in the database. So, the field is required, and will be unchecked when the value is 'NO' or 0 and checked when the value is 'Yes' or 1.
Workaround - create an aln field and create a domain of two values (Yes and No).
Use a control type of 'Radio Group Button Properties'
