Problems in changing row''s background color within gridcontrol

[Allon]

Hi, everyone

I have little problem in changing the background of rows in grid control. At the beginning I looped through the grid's rows and did ->
If t Mod 2 = 0 Then grdNew.RowStyles(t).BackColor = Yellow
Else grdNew.RowStyles(t).BackColor = White End If

then I tried to loop:

If t Mod 2 = 0 Then grdNew.RowStyles(t).BackColor = Purple
Else grdNew.RowStyles(t).BackColor = Orange End If

and nothing happened (rows remained yello and white).

Please let me know if there anything I can do about it.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day :)

If it'd help you to explain and solve my problem, I suggest you to send me a little app (with environment similar to mine) with the right solution.

Have a nice day :)

Hi Allon,

Thanks for your details.

Herewith i have attached a sample for your reference with the code you provided .
http://files.syncfusion.com/support/samples/Grid.Windows/7.3.0.20/F90669.zip

In this sample, the first code snippet is handled in Form() constructor and second code snippet is handled in button click event in order to see the difference in grid while applying color settings.

Thanks, but the link does not work.

I think that my problem was that I wrote:

Private Sub grdNew_PrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs) Handles grdNew.PrepareViewStyleInfo
If e.RowIndex > 0 And e.ColIndex > 0 Then
If e.RowIndex Mod 2 = 0 Then
e.Style.BackColor = myColors.AlternateColor
End If
End If
End Sub

and I couldn't rid of it.

Hi Allon,

Thanks for your update.

The link provided in my previous update works fine. Regarding the issue with backcolor, if you are setting backcolor for certain rows in grid through PrepareViewStyleInfo event, then you cannot overwrite those cells with other colors through some other means. The PrepareViewStyleInfo event get triggered each time the style setting of a cell is queried.

One thing you can try to achieve setting different color at runtime is, supply the colors through custom properties and set them in PrepareViewStyleInfo event.

Please refer to the following sample in which this has been achieved. By clicking the button, you can apply different set of colors.
