Coloring text in one cell with different colors

[Administrator]

This question was initially asked in the General forum, but my guess is that I will get a faster response in this forum. Can this be accomplished in the GridBoundDataGrid control?

Dear Syncfusion Team,
Do your product give us the facility to color the text of one cell of the grid with
different colors.E.g: Say text in one cell is "Hello World". Can we color
Hello in Red and World in Blue.
If Yes, how can we do it?
If no,do you any other product which will solve our purpose?

Regards,
Rasik

Hi Rasik,

Sure, you can do that with the Rich Text cell type. Also, take a look at the xhtml sample. It allows for simple formatting to be applied to the Rich Text cell using xhtml instead of RTF.

Best regards,

Currently, you would have to use richtext celltyle as Daniel suggested. Here is a link to a sample shipped with the product that shows how you would do this.

\Syncfusion\Essential Suite\Grid\Samples\CellTypes\RichTextCells

But, using this in a GridDataBoundGrid where teh cell text comes from your database would require some work unless your database holds the information as rich text to begin with. If your database does not hold richtext, then you would have to handle teh Model.QueryCellInfo event. In that event, you could dynamically switch the celltype to RichText and then color the text the way you want it using richtext techniques.
