Question about Alternate Row colors

[David Mecteaux]

Hi,

I know that you can make all the even rows be a different color by code like:

gridReport.TableDescriptor.Appearance.AlternateRecordFieldCell.BackColor


But how do you make the odd rows be a different color?

Hi David,

You could achieve the desired behavior by handling TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo event.

void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableControlPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
GridTableCellStyleInfo style = (GridTableCellStyleInfo)e.Inner.Style;
if (style.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell)

{
e.Inner.Style.BackColor = Color.Lavender;

}
}

Thanks for the response. Could you also give me some code to change the Color of the odd and even rows when dealing with a Detail table (instead of just the Master table)?

Thanks.

Hi David,

Please see the code to change the Color of the odd and even rows in both master and detail table.

void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableControlPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
GridTableCellStyleInfo style = (GridTableCellStyleInfo)e.Inner.Style;
if (style.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell)
{
e.Inner.Style.BackColor = Color.Lavender;

}
if (style.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.AlternateRecordFieldCell )
{
e.Inner.Style.BackColor = Color.PaleGoldenrod;

}
}

Sample attached.

Hi,

I do realize how to change the odd and even row colors globally for each Table. But I was hoping to have a different odd/even color for each Table and not the same color scheme.

So my master table might be pink and tan.
My Detail_1 table might be yellow and orange.
My Detail_2 table could be light red and purple.

Hi David,

Please refer the following browser sample that shows how you can customize the appearance of nested tables in GridGroupingControl.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
