Highlights the selected row
This can be done by handling the PrepareViewStyleInfo event and by changing the text color and the backcolor of the selected ranges of cells in WinForms GridControl.
C#
void gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
GridControlBase grid = gridControl1;
GridCurrentCell cc = gridControl1.CurrentCell;
// Highlight the current row with SystemColors.Highlight and bold font
if(e.RowIndex > grid.Model.Rows.HeaderCount && e.ColIndex > grid.Model.Cols.HeaderCount && cc.HasCurrentCellAt(e.RowIndex))
{
e.Style.Interior = new BrushInfo(SystemColors.Highlight);
e.Style.TextColor = SystemColors.HighlightText;
e.Style.Font.Bold = true;
}
}
VB
Private Sub gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs) Dim grid As GridControlBase = gridControl1 Dim cc As GridCurrentCell = gridControl1.CurrentCell ' Highlight the current row with SystemColors.Highlight and bold font If e.RowIndex > grid.Model.Rows.HeaderCount AndAlso e.ColIndex > grid.Model.Cols.HeaderCount AndAlso cc.HasCurrentCellAt(e.RowIndex) Then e.Style.Interior = New BrushInfo(SystemColors.Highlight) e.Style.TextColor = SystemColors.HighlightText e.Style.Font.Bold = True End If End Sub
