unable to set the backcolor for a GridViewCommandColumn with conditional formatting

[Anu]

I am trying to set the backcolor of a gridview GridViewCommandColumn using conditional formating, but it is not showing the colors:
I am using gridview version 2011.1.11.419
Please help

Thanks

Here is the code:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

void radGV_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)

 

{

if (mycondn == true)

                    {

                        e.CellElement.DrawFill = true;

                       e.CellElement.ForeColor = Color.Blue;

                        e.CellElement.NumberOfColors = 1;

                        e.CellElement.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gold;

                     

                    }

                 else                    {

                        e.CellElement.DrawFill = true;

                        e.CellElement.ForeColor = Color.Blue;

                        e.CellElement.NumberOfColors = 1;

                         e.CellElement.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightBlue;

  

                    }
}

my cell is created like this:

//data base field name is ScDate
 GridViewCommandColumn colSchDelDate = new GridViewCommandColumn("ScDate");
  colSchDelDate.UseDefaultText = false;
  colSchDelDate.Width = 80;
  colSchDelDate.HeaderText = "Sc Date";
  colSchDelDate.ReadOnly = true;
  colSchDelDate.FormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yy}";
  colSchDelDate.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
  radGV.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(colSchDelDate);

}

Hello Anu,

I believe that the problem is not that the grid is not formatting the columns. If you want the button itself to have the same color as the grid column you should format it separately, like the following:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (myCond)
    {
        e.CellElement.DrawFill = true;
        e.CellElement.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
        e.CellElement.NumberOfColors = 1;
        e.CellElement.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gold;

    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.DrawFill = true;
        e.CellElement.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
        e.CellElement.NumberOfColors = 1;
        e.CellElement.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightBlue;

    }

    if (e.CellElement is GridCommandCellElement)
    {
        var commandCell = e.CellElement as GridCommandCellElement;
        commandCell.CommandButton.ButtonFillElement.NumberOfColors = 1;
        commandCell.CommandButton.ButtonFillElement.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
        commandCell.CommandButton.ButtonFillElement.BackColor = myCond
                                                                    ? System.Drawing.Color.Gold
                                                                    : System.Drawing.Color.LightBlue;
    }
}
