I have a field (listbox) that shows we the value of a query. If the amount is negative, it should appear in red.
I've solved the problem using the select property, but the field appears black (it's maybe less then 1 sec. but the user can see it).
-Do you know other way, how to retrieve a data from a list box without using 'selected'-property,
or
-how to use the 'selected'-property in the background?

Thanx for your suggestions,

Is it your contention that the user can see the wrong color for a split second after some action such as clicking a Query button?

I'm trying to understand what you want.

The way I would approach this is to make the foreground and background have exactly the same color the moment you click that button, even before you run the query. Then, when the result comes in, reset the foreground color based on the result. That way, what the user sees is NOTHING until you have an answer and can choose the proper color.
 
the thing is, that the 'selected'-property...

lets the field appear in black (like I said, it just a piece of sec.). The colors etc. work perfect, it's just this stupid selected color.
