Alternate the colour of the Group Headings

[Ken]

I'm using the Grid Grouping control on a flat table. Setting the grouping to be 3 columns within the table.

Is it possible to alternate the back colour of the group headings? Like the way you can with the rows?

Cheers

Hi Ken,

You can handle the QueryCellStyleInfo event and set the backcolor of the GroupCaptionCell. Below are the codes:

void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
Element el = e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement;
if (e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement.Kind == DisplayElementKind.Caption)
{
int i = el.GetRowIndex();
e.Style.Themed = false;
if( i %2 == 0)
e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
else
e.Style.BackColor = Color.Blue;
}
}

Best regards,

Thanks Haneef that worked. The only minor issue with it was that as I'm using the Office look & feel that is built in, the group header stays the same colour. However, the rows are now alternate colours and I can live with that.
