Problem in setting the backcolor for the nested table in GridGroupingControl

[Prathima Venkobachar]

Hi,

I am trying to set the backcolor for the child table.

It is applying for all the rows except the rows where the data is present.
Also I am trying to remove the borders for the child table by setting the style and applying the style to the child tabledescriptor.
still the borders are appearing.
I have pasted the code I am using.Is this right..?I am also sending the screen shot how it looks like..?

srcDataSet.Tables[0].TableName = "View";
srcDataSet.Tables[1].TableName = "ViewHistory";

srcDataSet.Relations.Add(
srcDataSet.Tables[0].Columns[DBColumns.AssetId],
srcDataSet.Tables[1].Columns[DBColumns.AssetId]);
srcDataSet.Relations[0].RelationName = "View_History";

groupingGrid1.DataSource = srcDataSet.Tables[0];

GridTableCellStyleInfo ViewHistStyle = new GridTableCellStyleInfo();
ViewHistStyle.BackColor = Color.White;
ViewHistStyle.Trimming = System.Drawing.StringTrimming.EllipsisCharacter;
ViewHistStyle.ReadOnly = false;
ViewHistStyle.Borders.All = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.None );
ViewHistStyle.AllowEnter = false;

GridEngine engine = this.groupingGrid1.Engine;
engine.ChildGroupOptions.ShowCaption = false;
engine.NestedTableGroupOptions.ShowColumnHeaders = false;
engine.NestedTableGroupOptions.ShowGroupHeader = false;
engine.NestedTableGroupOptions.ShowCaption = false;
engine.NestedTableGroupOptions.ShowCaptionPlusMinus = false;
GridTableDescriptor ViewTableDescriptor = (GridTableDescriptor) engine.TableDescriptor;
RelationDescriptor ViewHistRelationDescriptor = ViewTableDescriptor.Relations["View_History"];
GridTableDescriptor ViewHistTableDescriptor = (GridTableDescriptor) ViewHistRelationDescriptor.ChildTableDescriptor;
ViewTableDescriptor.Appearance.AnyCell.BackColor = Color.White;
ViewTableDescriptor.AllowNew = false;
ViewTableDescriptor.Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell = ViewHistStyle;
engine.NestedTableGroupOptions.ShowEmptyGroups = false;
this.groupingGrid1.TableModel.Properties.DisplayHorzLines = false;
this.groupingGrid1.TableModel.Properties.DisplayVertLines = false;

//Here I am setting other styles for the parent table....

Thanks,
Prathima

Instead of:

ViewTableDescriptor.Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell = ViewHistStyle;

try

ViewTableDescriptor.Appearance.RecordFieldCell = ViewHistStyle;
ViewTableDescriptor.Appearance.AlternateRecordFieldCell = ViewHistStyle;

to see if that does what you want.

I tried .This is not reflecting.
I am getting the backcolor, but only for the row for which the record is there..it is setting cyan color..
How can i debug this..?

Handle the QueryCellCellInfo event. In the handler, set e.Style.CellTipText = e.TableCellStyleIndentity.Info. Then as you move your mouse over the region you want to color, the celltip should give you information about the grid cell that you are hovering over.

Here is a little sample that colors nested tables. It also removes the borders from the inner most table. Can you use Paint to mark up a screen shot of this grid to show exactly what you want to change? Then maybe I can suggest how to do it.
