Hi Angela, are you handling the QueryCellStyleInfo event? If yes, in that event you can check e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement. You can check DisplayElement.ParentGroup to get the group for that element. Also, e.TableCellIdentity.GroupedColumn will tell you to which grouped column this record or caption row belongs. If you need to know the record index, try Table table = e.TableCellIdentity.ParentTable; Record record = e.TableCellIdentity.ParentRecord; int recordIndex = table.Records.IndexOf(record); - or - int recordIndex = table.UnsortedRecords.IndexOf(record); Stefan

Hi.. I''m handling the TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo event. is it possible to handle the above here?

You can cast the e.Inner.Style to a GridTableCellStyleInfo object to use the above code. ''VB Dim style As GridTableCellStyleInfo = CType(e.Inner.Style, GridTableCellStyleInfo) //C# GridTableCellStyleInfo style = (GridTableCellStyleInfo) e.Inner.Style;
