set cell background color

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if you are able to change the background of a cell when the value of a different cell changes.
For example, within the same row, if the value of the first cell changes, I want to set the background of another cell down the row to another color.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Linda

Hi Linda,

Are you using GridDataBoundGrid? If so, please refer the below forum thread which discuss with simillar issue.

For GridControl, you can handle the CurrentCellChanging event and set the backcolor property of the cell using grid's indexer. Here is a code snippet to show this.

//Column 1 changes affect the Column 3
private void GridCellChanging(Object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
GridControl grid = sender as GridControl;
GridCurrentCell cc = grid.CurrentCell;
if( cc.ColIndex == 1)
grid[cc.RowIndex, 3].BackColor = Color.Blue;
}

Best Regards,
