Font size of GridTemplateColumn

[bkind]

Hi,

I have a TimePicker in a GridTemplateColumn (via DataTemplate, of course). I know the CellTextSize property of GridColumn, but that seemimgly does not to work here.

My questions:

1. Does CellTextSize work for GridTemplateColumn at all?
2. If so, will it be propagated to controls inside the DataTemplate?
3. If not, is there a general way of setting the font size in GridTemplateColumn?

Kind regards

using:
Xamarin Forms 2.3.4
Syncfusion ES 15.1.0.41

Hi Kind, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

Regarding your first query of “Does CellTextSize work for GridTemplateColumn at all ” 

      Initially, we don’t know which view would be loaded inside GridTemplateColumn. So, CellTextSize property is not applicable for GridTemplateColumn. 

 

Regarding your Second query of “If so, will it be propagated to controls inside the DataTemplate ” 

      As mentioned in the previous query, CellTextSize is not works for GridTemplateColumn. 

 

Regarding your third query of “If not,is there a general way of setting the font size in GridTemplateColumn ” 

      There is no general way available for setting the font size in GridTemplateColumn. For TimePicker, there is no inbuild FontSize property. However, you can achieve your requirement of setting font size for TimePicker by customizing the TimePickerRenderer.  

 

We have prepared a sample based on your requirement and please download the same from below link.

Hi again and thank you for your answer.

Concerning GridTemplateColumn format options, well, I have to admit that I was hoping for some magic trick. But o the other hand I suspected something like having to write a renderer. So thank you for the sample code, too.

By the way, kudos to you and the team at Syncfusion for giving competent answers promptly! Which is nothing I could say about a lot of other software companies.

Kind regards
