Hi Isb-Developer,

Thank you for writing.

You can use the CellFormatting event of the RadGridView. Consider the following code snippet which demonstrates this:

Private m_boldFont = New Font("Helvetica", 10, FontStyle.Bold)
 
Public Sub New()
  InitializeComponent()
  AddHandler Me.RadGridView1.CellFormatting, AddressOf RadGridView1_CellFormatting
End Sub
 
Private Sub RadGridView1_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CellFormattingEventArgs)
  If e.ColumnIndex = 1 Then
    e.CellElement.Font = Me.m_boldFont
  Else
    e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)
  End If
End Sub

Note that the creation of a Font is a heavy operation and can lead to memory leaks. It is best to create one font and use it across the application.

I hope this will help you. If you have further questions, I would be glad to help. Best wishes,
