Default GridStyleInfo

Question

Hi there,

I need to change the default style info of a grid.  I tried overriding the GetDefaultStyle function of StyleInfoBase, but I can''t figure out a way to get my grid to use the overridden GridStyleInfo class.  Is there a simple way to do this?

Cheers,

Hi Haneef,

Thanks for the reply.  This example shows how to add custom properties to a GridStyleInfo - but what I actually want to do is change the default font of a grid.  Thus, when you apply no style to a grid cell, I want to force the grid to use Arial font by default.

Thanks,

Try setting your new defaults on the standard style to see if that does what you want.

this.gridControl1.BaseStylesMap["Standard"].StyleInfo.Font.Facename = "Arial";
