databound grid flat style

[Administrator]

How do you format the whole grid so that it looks like Microsoft''s flat style? e.g. borders, cells in grid, etc

Thanks.

On an XP system with grid.ThemesEnabled = true, you get a ''flat'' XP look.

But if this is not what you want, you will have to set particular properties to flatten different parts of teh grid. Here is a try at this.

//set grid borderstyle
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;

//make headers be static cells to avoid raised drawing
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Header"].StyleInfo.CellType = "Static";
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Column Header"].StyleInfo.CellType = "Static";
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Row Header"].StyleInfo.CellType = "Static";
			
//set the header borders to draw
GridStyleInfo style = new GridStyleInfo();	
GridBorder gb = new GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Solid, SystemColors.ControlDark);
style.Borders.Bottom = gb;
style.Borders.Right = gb;
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Header"].StyleInfo.ModifyStyle(style, Syncfusion.Styles.StyleModifyType.Override);
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Column Header"].StyleInfo.ModifyStyle(style, Syncfusion.Styles.StyleModifyType.Override);
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Row Header"].StyleInfo.ModifyStyle(style, Syncfusion.Styles.StyleModifyType.Override);

//set the borders for all non header cells...
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.Options.DefaultGridBorderStyle = GridBorderStyle.Solid;
