How do I set the BackColor for GDBG from outside the control?

I would like to be able to set the CurrentCell''s background color without having to handle the QueryCellInfo event. I tried: gdbg.Model[rowNdx, colNdx].BackColor = Color.Plum; where rowNdx and colNdx point to the CurrentCell, but no color is ever set.

Hi, you can use PrepareViewStyleInfo Event for changing the current cell''s background color of GDBG. Here is the Code snippet. private void gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e) { if(e.ColIndex == 3 && e.RowIndex == 3) e.Style.BackColor = Color.Yellow; } Refer this KB article for more details. http://www.syncfusion.com/support/kb/grid/Default.aspx?ToDo=view&questId=84 With Regards, Madhan

Hi, To have only the current cell to be of any color, then CurrentCell.HasCurrentCellAt(e.RowIndex, e.ColIndex) has to be checked in the PrepareViewStyleInfo or QueryCellInfo handler. if(this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell.HasCurrentCellAt(e.RowIndex, e.ColIndex)) { e.Style.BackColor = Color.Pink; } Best regards, Stanley

I was looking for a way to do this outside of any event. Looks like maybe that can''t be done.
