GroupDropArea Colors

[Jeremy Giannosa]

I would like to customize group drop area colors as show in the attached picture.

I was able to modify color on the splitter color and the bottom half of the group drop area but was unable to modify colors on the top half of the drop area and the shelf which holds the column headers that are being grouped

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

You can handle the PrepareViewStyleInfo event of the GridDropArea control to modify the colors in it. The code snippet is as follows.

this.gridGroupingControl1.GridGroupDropArea.PrepareViewStyleInfo +=new GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventHandler(GridGroupDropArea_PrepareViewStyleInfo);

private void GridGroupDropArea_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
e.Style.BackColor=Color.Purple;
e.Style.TextColor= Color.White;
e.Style.Themed = false; //for group header cell....
}

Best regards,
Haneef
