Grid Control and Drop Down list control Background Color

[Montesh Chhabria]

Hey,

Need to know how to avoid the change in the background color when I click the GridListControl.
the problem is when I select a particular row, the selected color is automatically set to Black and this sets the background color of the GridList control to black but keeps the forecolor as well to black and this makes the readability to zero.

Now, how can I set the selection color of the grid and avoid it from auto setting to Black.

thanks & regards,
Montesh

Hi Montesh,

You need to handle the Grid''s CurrentCellShowingDropDown and ListControlPart.Grid ''s PrepareviewStyle event .Here is a code snippet.

private void gridControl1_CurrentCellShowingDropDown(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridCurrentCellShowingDropDownEventArgs e)
{
GridCurrentCell cc = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell;
GridDropDownGridListControlCellRenderer cr = cc.Renderer as GridDropDownGridListControlCellRenderer;
if(cr != null)
{
cr.ListControlPart.Grid.PrepareViewStyleInfo +=new GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventHandler(Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo);
}
}
private void Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
e.Style.BackColor = Color.YellowGreen;
}

Let me know if this helps.
Regards,

Hi Montesh, The selection behavior of the grid can be defined using the AllowSelection property. (Grid.AllowSelection = GridSelectionFlags.Row|GridSelectionFlags.AlphaBlend;) And the alpha blend selection color can be set using the AlphaBlendSelectionColor property. Please refer to the sample for more details. Let us know if you need any further assistance. Regards, Calvin.
