Change row font when checkbox is checked

[jerry]

I currently have a grid with a checkbox column.  When the user checks the checkbox I change the background color and that works fine but i'm unable to change the text color on the ValueChanged event of that grid.

//Row Highlight when selected
GridCheckBoxCellElement cbCell = (GridCheckBoxCellElement)sender;
cbCell.RowElement.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#DAFB5E");
cbCell.RowElement.DrawFill = true;
cbCell.RowElement.ForeColor = this.radGVTables.ForeColor = Color.Sienna;

//I've tried this and it didn't work either.
cbCell.RowElement.ForeColor = Color.Sienna;

Thank you for any help

Hi Jerry,

I made a small change on your sample code that should do the trick.

//Row Highlight when selected
GridCheckBoxCellElement cbCell = (GridCheckBoxCellElement)sender;
cbCell.RowElement.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#DAFB5E");
cbCell.RowElement.DrawFill = true;
//cbCell.RowElement.ForeColor = this.radGVTables.ForeColor = Color.Sienna;

//I think you have to specify it foreach column in your grid that you need to change the color. Maybe there is a better way, didn't find it.
cbCell.RowInfo.Cells["columnname"].CellElement.ForeColor = Color.Sienna;

//I've tried this and it didn't work either.
//cbCell.RowElement.ForeColor = Color.Sienna;

Hope it helps you to a solution.

I added it to my sample application on my weblog also.

Hi jerry,

RadGridView uses virtualization for its visual elements. They are reused when scrolling or changing the grid content. The only safe place, where you can change the background color of some cell is the CellFormatting event (ViewCellFormatting respectively). These events are fired also when the cell changes its value. So, you should move your logic inside the CellFormatting event.
