GroupingGrid BackColor bug

[aa]

No matter what value you set for the GroupingGrid BackColor it always paints itself with white background even though the value
is actually serialized correcty in the InitializeComponent section.

The colors that determine the displayed grid''s colors are:

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.BackColor = Color.Red;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.Properties.BackgroundColor = Color.Red;

so you can work around this problem by setting these colors after the grid has been initialized.

I have forwarded this issue onto the grid architect to see about fixing this in our code.

I seem to have a problem highlighting rows in a GroupingGrid Control at runtime, i.e. change the BackColor and TextColor. Are these problems related?

I have tried:

1.
GridRangeInfo range = this.m_Grid.TableModel.Selections.Ranges.ActiveRange;

if (!range.IsEmpty)
{
for (int r = range.Top; r < range.Bottom; r++)
{
for (int iCount = 0; iCount < m_Grid.TableModel.ColCount; iCount++)
{
((GridTableCellStyleInfo) this.m_Grid.TableModel[r, iCount]).TextColor = Color.Red;
}
}
}

2.

GridRangeInfo range = this.m_Grid.TableModel.Selections.Ranges.ActiveRange;
if (!range.IsEmpty)
{
for (int r = range.Top; r < range.Bottom; r++)
{
m_Grid.TableModel.RowStyles[r].BackColor = Color.Red;
m_Grid.TableModel.RowStyles[r].TextColor = Color.White;
}
}

Similar to the restriction on our GriddataBoundGrid discussed in this KB,
http://www.syncfusion.com/support/kb/grid/Default.aspx?ToDo=view&questId=83

you cannot just ''set'' cell specific properties (other than the CellValue) in a GridGroupingControl. You can set column wide styles using grid.tableDescriptor.Column[x].Appearance property, you can set conditional row formats by adding ConditionalFormats. See this thread.

If you want to set properties cell by cell, then you need to handle the QueryCellStyleInfo event. Here is a thread that discusses this.

In version 3.2, we ship a sample that generalizes this QueryCellStyleInfo approach. It actually stores style objects and uses QueryCellStyleInfo to apply these cached styles in QueryCellStyleInfo Here is a link to this 3.2 sample. \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\3.2.0.0\Windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\Grouping\EmployeeViewXmlIO\CS
