Since you don't have: Set_Item_Instance_Property, you could use the Display_Item built-in:

Create different visual attributes for all your different needs. Let's say we want the "job" field in our EMP block to be red in the background for each SALESMAN. Then we create a visual attribute VA_SALES (red background) for the Salesmen.

In the POST-QUERY you'd do sth like:

Begin
	If :EMP.JOB = 'SALESMAN' Then
		Display_Item('EMP.JOB','VA_SALES');
	Else
		Display_Item('EMP.JOB',NULL);
	End IF;
End;

Of course, it isn't all you need to do: what if you update the job field, etc...? But it helps you out, I believe.

Nope, not in Forms 4.5 you don't. There's no such built-in in this version of Forms. It's a pitty though...
