Change color or border a one header column

[Esteban]

I'm trying to highlight just one column header.
I would also like the whole column to have a different border to the others.
But I have not managed to modify any element of the header either.
This is the code I am using:

Private Sub RadGridView1_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.CellFormatting

        If TypeOf e.CellElement Is GridHeaderCellElement Then
            e.CellElement.Font = myCustomFont
            e.CellElement.BorderBoxStyle = BorderBoxStyle.OuterInnerBorders

        End If
End Sub

 

Thanks!

Hi Esteban, 

For non-data cells, you need to use the ViewCellFormatting event, an example is available here: Formatting Cells.

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you!

ViewCellFormatting is a correct event.

Not CellFormatting event.

Hello again!

I have managed to put the letter in bold and I have been able to change the style of the border. But I have not managed to change other properties of the header such as text or backcolor. Any suggestions?

Private Sub RadGridView1_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.ViewCellFormatting

       If TypeOf e.CellElement Is GridHeaderCellElement Then

           If e.CellElement.Text.Last = "*" Then
               e.CellElement.Text = "change text"                          '### NO
               e.CellElement.Font = myCustomFont                           '### YES
               e.CellElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid          '### NO
               e.CellElement.BorderGradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid    '### NO
               e.CellElement.BackColor = Color.Red                         '### NO
               e.CellElement.BorderColor = Color.Black                     '### NO
               e.CellElement.BorderBoxStyle = BorderBoxStyle.OuterInnerBorders '### YES

           Else
               e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)
               e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.ForeColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)

           End If

       End If


   End Sub

Solved. I was misusing the methods.
