New row background color of column

[Miguel Angel]

Hi, Is there any way to change the background color in some specific column when the user does click on "Add new row" text.? I can change the color after the row was added but I don't know if its possible.

 

Something like this.

Hello Miguel,

You can use the ViewCellFormatting event to change the styles of the new row. Here is an example:

private void RadGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row is GridViewNewRowInfo && e.ColumnIndex == 2)
    {
        e.CellElement.DrawFill = true;
        e.CellElement.BackColor = Color.Red;
        e.CellElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;

    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawFillProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }

}

Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.
