The only way I know to do it is field by field to set a visual attribute. If it is a detail block, you'd use set_item_instance_property, otherwise you'd use set_item_proterty. I don't know of anyway to do the record as a whole with a songle command.

To set the whole record to a certain color you can : Make a setting in the property pallette for current record visual attribute group(it is in the property pallette at form level located under records). Set a visual attribute to display with a different color, (usually yellow is used to distinguish the current record). Call your newly created visual attribute "current_record" or whatever. Set the "current record visual attribute group" in the property pallette to your visual attribute "current_record". Now everytime you are on the current record in that form, it should pick up the visual attribute you assigned to it in your "current_record" visual attribute, and display the visual attribute settings for you for the whole record, not just one field.
