Greetings.

I am new to Xpression. I want to get my hands dirty with Visual Logic. Was hoping to find samples on how to do some of the advanced visual logic scripting. I have 2 basic functions I could use the help with.

1. I have a lower 3rd. It's default position is set with a drop note off. I would like to have the entire lower 3rd move up when the bottom note is turned on.
2. Enter a tricode and all of my template's colors and logos would change to that teams tricode I enter.

Finally if there is a place where I can learn more advanced ways to use Visual Logic, that would be terrific.

Thank you

1. Just off the top of my head, If note=visible, L3 Y Pos moves up.
2. This comes from Datalinq. There are plenty of examples on the forum for how to do this. This is how I set up mine:

Excel Doc: C1: Tricode C2: Primary Color PNG Swatch Path C3: Secondary Color PNG Swatch Path C4: Logo Image Path
You could swap the color swatch for RGB codes that can be read by XP I believe

Datalinq

SELECT [LOGO] FROM [MASTERTRI] WHERE [TEAM TRI] = "%TRI%"
LOGO=Column 4 path
MASTERTRI=Table in Excel
TEAM TRI=Column 1 Tricode
%TRI% = DataLinq key
