bold Font

We are new at xCeed and are using the grid control for the first time. I can not figure out how to make a cell’s font bold, or the whole row if necessary.

I have not tested any of my code yet, so maybe it’s all wrong 🙂 but this is what I am doing

My grid columns are defined in the IDE.
I add a row to the grid like this:
Dim row As Xceed.Grid.DataRow = GridMain.DataRows.AddNew
I set cell values and backcolor like this:
Dim cell As Xceed.Grid.DataCell
For Each cell In row.Cells
Select Case cell.FieldName
Case “Extended”
If oTable.lineExtended = True Then
cell.Value = “*”
Else
cell.Value = “”
End If
cell.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(oTable.c1)
Case “Supplier”
cell.Value = oTable.vendor
cell.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(oTable.c2)
Case “IDate”
cell.Value = oTable.DateSold
cell.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(oTable.c3)

End Select
Next

Now, if there is a certain indicator present, only known via code, I need to make the row I just added “bold”

Thanks.

You need to set the Font property of the cell or the row. However, all properties on a System.Drawing.Font are ReadOnly, so when you want to change an attribute on a font, you need to create a new one and pass it to the Font property.

e.g.:

cell.Font = new Font( cell.Font.FontFamily, cell.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold );
or
row.Font = new Font( row.Font.FontFamily, row.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold );

Of course you can define a whole new font (e.g. cell.Font = new Font( “Arial”, 10, FontStyle.Bold );), but you likely want to keep the exact same font, and only make it bold.
