Individual cell colors in GridDataBoundGrid

[Susie Smith]

How do I change the background color the current cell in the GridDataBoundGrid when a specific event happens?

The PrepareViewStyleInfo doesn''t work well for this.

thanks

Hi Susie, By default, DataBoundGrid doesn''t store any style info properties. You can not set any cell or row specific properties for the DataBoundGrid other than the CellValue.You need to handle the PrepareViewStyleInfo (or Model.QueryCellInfo) Event to do this.Through this event you can set the style properties for the grid. To set the BackColor for a currentcell, you check for the e.RowIndex/e.ColIndex, if that points to the row you desired, set the e.Style.BackColor for it. Here is some code snippet. //PrepareViewStyleInfo or Model.QueryCellInfo event GridCurrentCell cc = this.grid.CurrentCell; if( e.RowIndex == cc.RowIndex && e.ColIndex == cc.ColIndex ) { e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red; } KnowledgeBase Articles: QueryCellInfo event : http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/article.aspx?id=10351 PrepareViewStyleInfo event :http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/article.aspx?id=560 Please let me know if this helps.
