Chage Header BackColor on GridDataBoundGrid

I have two data views of the same data. One is in a SyncFusion GridDataBoundGrid, the other is an owner drawn form. When the user selects something on the owner drawn form, I want to change the background color of the column header to show which column(s) they have selected. How can I do this? Most of the BackColor work I am doing is in the PrepareViewStyleInfo() event, but that event is not called. I need something which is explicit. Tx, curt

You can force PrepareViewStyleInfo to be called by calling GridDataBoundGrid.RefreshRange. this.gridDataBoundGrid1.RefreshRange(GridRangeInfo.Cell(0,2)); //redraw col header 2 So if you want a header to be colored, set some flag (or something else that you can test in PrepareViewStyleInfo), and then call RefreshRange.
