Cell Font Colour

[Iain]

Hi,

I have two cells within a row. I need to change the font colour dependant on their values i.e. if cell1 is less than cell2 then make it''s font colour red etc. Where is the best place to do this.

Thanks

Try using PrepareViewStyleInfo. When e.RowIndex and e.ColIndex point to the cell you want to potentially color, compare e.Style.CellValue to your grid cell value (gotten by indexing; grid[e.RowIndex, someColIndex].CellValue). Then set e.Style.BackColor to the color based on teh result of the comparison.

Hi,

Thanks for the super fast response. I have done this and it works well however I would like to change the font colour but can''t find the right property.

Many thanks

Iain

Try using e.Style.TextColor.

Hi Clay,

I tried e.Style.BackColor and it works. When I try e.Style.TextColor it doesn''t.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Instead of PrepareViewStyleInfo, use grid.QueryCellInfo (grid.Model.QueryCellInfo in a GridDataBoundgrid).

There are some properties that need to be set in QueryCellInfo instead of PrepareViewStyleInfo. The TextColor property could be used to initialize some type of edit control, and this would need to be set up early.
