Change font style of individual cells

[Shaolin]

Hi All,

Is there a easy way to change font style, e.g. Bold and Italic, for individual cells at the runtime?

Thanks,

Shaolin

Hello Shaolin,

Thank you for writing.

In order to customize the grid cells, it is appropriate to use the CellFormatting event. The following help article demonstrates a approach: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/virtualgrid/cells/formatting-data-cells

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Hi Dess,

The issue is that I can only change Font property by using CellFormatting event. What I need is change styles of the font and I do not want to create a font for individual cell. Is there a way to set a font for all cells in a column?

Hello Shaolin,

Thank you for writing back. 

You can't assign the font for a column by setting a given property. The CellFormatting event is the appropriate place to assign a specific font to the desired column:

Font f = new Font("Arial", 12f, FontStyle.Italic);

private void radVirtualGrid1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.VirtualGridCellElementEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.ColumnIndex == 3)
    {
        e.CellElement.Font = f;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
