DECLARE
it_id Item;
BEGIN
it_id := Find_Item('CONTROL.CHECK_BOX);
Set_Item_INSTANCE_Property(it_id,1,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'TEXT_ITEM');

END;

Here 1 is the number of the current record and TEXT_ITEM is the name of a visual attribute where you define the foreground and background color.

You can use the system variable to figure out the number of the current record.

SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD represents the number of the record where the cursor is located. This number represents the record's current physical order in the block's list of records. The value is always a character string.

So use TO_NUMBER(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD) to gigure out the number of the current record.
