Change ForeColor of cell in codebehind

[josep]

Hi folks,

I have this xaml:
        <syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="dgLevel1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1"
            AutoGenerateColumns="True"
            ColumnSizer="AutoWithLastColumnFill"
            AutoGeneratingColumn="dgLevel1_AutoGeneratingColumn"/>

An this code behind:
        private void dgLevel1_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid.AutoGeneratingColumnArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Column.MappingName == "Color")
            {
                ...
            }
            else if (e.Column.MappingName == "Description")
            {
                ...
            }

        }

Please can you provide code in code behind that change cell color (not header cell) of one cell based a mapped column? I need to change "Description" mapping forecolor based "color" mapping.

Cheers

Hi Josep, 

 

You can achieve your requirement to change the ForeGroundColor based on the cell value in using CellStyleSelector like below, 

 

 

<Syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="SfdataGrid" 

                               AllowEditing="True" 

                               AllowSorting="True"  

                               SelectionUnit="Cell"   

                               CellStyleSelector="{StaticResource styleselector}" 

                               AutoGenerateColumns="False" 

                               ColumnSizer="Star" 

                               ItemsSource="{Binding GDCSource}" 

                               LiveDataUpdateMode="AllowDataShaping"/> 

public class CustomStyleSelector:StyleSelector 

{ 

    public override Style SelectStyle(object item, DependencyObject container) 

    { 

 

        var data = item as BusinessObjects; 

 

        if (data.EmployeeID <10 && ((container as GridCell).ColumnBase.GridColumn.MappingName == "EmployeeName")) 

            return App.Current.Resources["YellowCellStyle"] as Style; 

        else if (data.EmployeeName == "Peter" && ((container as GridCell).ColumnBase.GridColumn.MappingName == "EmployeeID")) 

            return App.Current.Resources["GreenCellStyle"] as Style; 

        else 

            return App.Current.Resources["RedCellStyle"] as Style; 

                 

 

        return base.SelectStyle(item, container); 

    } 

}
