Color another cell in PrepareViewStyleInfo event

[Ronnie Kleinfeld]

Hi,
In a GridDataBoundGrid grid in a the PrepareViewStyleInfo event I can color the current cell:

e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;

But I need to color another cell right there also. I know its row and column indexes.

I tried:
grid[iRow,iColumn].BackColor = Color.Red;
But it's not working.

Is it possible? How can you do it?

Thanks ahead,
Ronnie.

Hi Ronnie,

Try setting the RefreshCurrentCellBehavior property to RefreshRow and handle the PrepareViewStyleInfo event of the grid to set the backcolor of the current cell and it's right adjacent cell. Please try the attached sample and let me know if this helps.

this.grid.Model.Options.RefreshCurrentCellBehavior = GridRefreshCurrentCellBehavior.RefreshRow;

private void gridDataBoundGrid1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
if( e.RowIndex > 0 && e.ColIndex > 0)
{
GridCurrentCell cc = (sender as GridDataBoundGrid).CurrentCell;
if( cc.RowIndex == e.RowIndex && (cc.ColIndex == e.ColIndex || cc.ColIndex + 1 == e.ColIndex ))
e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
}
