Grouping Blink Color

[Steve Friendly]

I've turned on native blinking support in the grouping control. Is there a way to change the color of the cells when the blink from the defaults?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

AllowBlink Property
Specifies whether the cell allows being highlighted when its value is changed. In such case the cell is being highlighted with colors specified in the BaseStyles collection and the time period specified in BlinkTime of the GridGroupingControl. Default value is false.

Color for Blink Cells
Add the BaseStylesForBlinking. This allows customization of the appearance of blinking Cells.

grid.Engine.AddBaseStylesForBlinking();


It will add BlinkIncrease, BlinkReduced, BlinkNewValue, BlinkNullValue, BlinkNewRecord under BaseStyles. Now you can set the color for blink cells using this :

BaseStyles[BlinkIncreased].StyleInfo.BackColor = Color.Red;
BaseStyles[BlinkReduced].StyleInfo.BackColor = Color.Pink;

Thanks, that works great!

PS: in the video it shows changing the settings and the running application responds. How did you do that? If I try it complains that it can’t be edited while debugging, etc.

Hi Steve,

Sorry for the delay in response.

You can invoke the SchemaBrowser using this code snippet and change the settings in run mode.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
GridGroupingControlSchemaBrowser frm = new GridGroupingControlSchemaBrowser(this.gridGoupingControl1);
frm.Show();
}

Kindly let us know if this helps.

Best Regards,
