Define cell style per datarow style

[User (Old forums)]

I have a grid for which I have defined 2 dataRowStyle’s, so that I can get alternating row colours. However, I’d also like to adjust the colour of a particular column in the grid as well to have different colours.

 

e.g;

row0.BackColor = White

row1.BackColor = Grey

 

But in row0.column5 I want .BackColour = PaleYellow

and in row0.column6 I want .BackColour = DarkYellow

 

Is this setup possible? I can’t work it out in the grid designer. I thought about writing a handler for the Cell.Paint event to modify the cell colours, but I can’t work out how to determine the original dataRowStyle for a cell.

 

Solving either of those problems will help.

This can be done by deriving from the DataRow and DataCell classes, in which you can override the GetDisplayVisualStyle method, so to get the color you want on the cell according to the parent row color.

 I have attached a sample application demonstrating this.
