Custom cell formatting with IFormatProvider

[Anthony Constantinou]

Is there a way to use an IFormatProvider to dictate cell format rather than the GridStyleInfo.Format string.

Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Before we start providing the solution, we would like to hear the platform using by you(eg : Grid[windows] or Grid[Web]).

Could you please provide us the above details so that we could provide you a better solution? The information provided would be of great help in resolving the issue.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Anthony,

We regret deeply for the delay.

The IFormatProvider interface supplies an object that provides formatting information for formatting and parsing operations. Formatting operations convert the value of a type to the string representation of that value. Typical formatting methods are the ToString methods of a type, as well as Format. Parsing operations convert the string representation of a value to a type with that value. Typical parsing methods are Parse and TryParse.

You can handle the TableControlDrawCellDisplayText event and conditionally set the e.Inner.DisplayText to "Yes" or "No".
Here is the code snippets:

GridTableCellStyleInfo style = (GridTableCellStyleInfo)e.Inner.Style;
if (style.TableCellIdentity.Column != null && style.TableCellIdentity.Column.Name == "History" && style.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement.Kind == DisplayElementKind.Record)
{
if (e.Inner.Style.Text == "True")
{
e.Inner.DisplayText = "Yes" ;
}
else if (e.Inner.Style.Text == "False")
{
e.Inner.DisplayText = "No";
}

Please let me know if any other concern.
