Apply Form.MetroStyles To GridControl

[John]

Hi,

Been trying to figure this out for a day now... lol.

1. How do I apply metro color schemes from "Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.MetroColors" to the GridControl object?

• My main form is using MetroForm, and I've set a Metro color to it by Me.MetroColor
• But the Grid shows the default blue metro colors.

So basically my question is,

how do i change the metro scheme of my controls, and apply them so they
are uniform across.


Thanks...

Hi John,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Query Metro Color schemes to the Grid object.

Me. MetroColor only change the backcolor of icon  used in Grid. To change the color for Grid you can use the following method.   Way 1:   This can be achieved by enabling the GridVisualStyles property. Please refer to the following code snippet and let us know if this helps.   Me. gridGroupingControl1.GridVisualStyles = GridVisualStyles.Office2007Blue   Way 2 :   The custom visual styles can be used in which you can specify your own color for the themes on to the grid. The GridVisualStyles has to be provided as Custom, and the GridVisualStylesDrawing has to be assigned with the object that has implemented with the IVisualStylesDrawing.   Way 3 :   If you want similar colors to be applied for grid header cells, then you may do this by adding the following code to your form's constructor. Please try the code below.   Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.RowHeaderCell.Interior =                 new BrushInfo(GradientStyle.Vertical, new Color[] { Color.FromArgb(173, 209, 255), Color.White }); Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.TopLeftHeaderCell.Interior =                 new BrushInfo(GradientStyle.Vertical, new Color[] { Color.FromArgb(173, 209, 255), Color.White }); Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.Interior =                 new BrushInfo(GradientStyle.Vertical, new Color[] { Color.FromArgb(173, 209, 255), Color.White });

Please let me know if you have further concerns.

Regards,

Vinish.

Hi Vinesh,

Sorry mate. I tried that but it does not apply the colors. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the code I'm using:

Me.GridGroupingControl1.GridVisualStyles = GridVisualStyles.Metro
Dim test As BrushInfo = New BrushInfo(GradientStyle.Vertical, New Color() {Color.FromArgb(173, 209, 255), Color.Crimson})
Me.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.RowHeaderCell.Interior = test
Me.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.TopLeftHeaderCell.Interior = test
Me.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.Interior = test

And the result is attached.

We regret for the delay caused. You can use the DrawCell event to achieve the output. Using this event you can change the color for header .
