Changing back color for a cell or row

You can change the back color of the cell or row or column by using QueryCellStyleInfo event. In GridGroupingControl, the table model is derived from the Base styles. So that it does’nt support the GridGroupingControl to set styles.

The following code example explains how to change the background color of the particular cell and row by using QueryCellStyleInfo Event.

void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
    // Applies style for a particular cell.
    if (e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex == 5 && e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex==3)
    {
    // Sets back color for a particular cell.
    e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
    }
}
void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
    // Applies style for a particular Row.
    if (e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex == 6)
    {
        e.Style.BackColor = Color.Cornsilk;
    }
}

Private Sub gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs)
 ' Applies style for a particular cell.
 If e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex = 5 AndAlso e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex=3 Then
  ' Sets back  color for a particular cell.
  e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red
 End If
End Sub
Private Sub gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs)
 ' Applies style for a particular Row.
 If e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex = 6 Then
  e.Style.BackColor = Color.Cornsilk
 End If
End Sub

To set back color for a particular column, you can use TableDescriptor property. Refer to the following code examples.

//Applies style for a particular column.
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Column3"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.BackColor = Color.LightSkyBlue;

'Applies style for a particular column.
Private Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns("Column3").Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.BackColor = Color.LightSkyBlue
