Changing forecolor of GridHyperLinkColumn

[vishal]

Hi,
    There must be some simple answer to this, but i am not yet been able to find it. I have a RadGrid and i want to change the forecolor of one of the GridHyperLinkColumn fields. I have tried using ItemStyle-CssClass, ItemStyle-ForeColor but they did not work. Following is the code:

<radG:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" Skin="None" DataSourceID="sdsBlogs" GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns="False">

<

MasterTableView DataSourceID="sdsBlogs" DataKeyNames="BLOG_ID">
<Columns>

<radG:GridHyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlField="BLOG_ID" DataNavigateUrlFormatString=http://my.impactwrestling.com/Blog.aspx?ID={0} DataTextField="TITLE" HeaderText="Title" SortExpression="TITLE" UniqueName="TITLE">
</radG:GridHyperLinkColumn

>

<radG:GridHyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlField="UserId" DataNavigateUrlFormatString=http://my.impactwrestling.com/MyProfile.aspx?ID={0} DataTextField="UserName" HeaderText="User" SortExpression="UserName" UniqueName="column">
</radG:GridHyperLinkColumn>

<radG:GridBoundColumn DataField="POST_COUNT" HeaderText="# of Comments" SortExpression="POST_COUNT" UniqueName="column1">
</radG:GridBoundColumn>

<radG:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Last Post">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label id="lblLocation" runat="server" Text='<%# LastPost((int)Eval("BLOG_ID")) %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate> </radG:GridTemplateColumn>
</Columns>

<ExpandCollapseColumn Visible="False">
<HeaderStyle Width="19px" />
</ExpandCollapseColumn>
<RowIndicatorColumn Visible="False">
<HeaderStyle Width="20px" />
</RowIndicatorColumn>
</MasterTableView>

</radG:RadGrid>

I want to make forecolor of Bold n Underlined hyperlink column white

Hi,

Try the following code snippet in the ItemDataBound event to set the style for the HyperLinkColumn.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            HyperLink hyplnk = (HyperLink)item["TITLE"].Controls[0];
            hyplnk.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
            hyplnk.Font.Bold = true;
        }
   }

Thanks
Shinu.

Thanks that worked, but can't understand why the properties don't work at design time.

Thanks anyway !!!

I'm pretty sure that it is a bug.  I am experiencing the same problem.

Hi Chris,

The reason that ItemStyle-ForeColor does not work for GridHyperLinkColumn is that the text of the hyperlink is not recognized by the Grid, thus the property is not applied. Another way to set it declaratively is by defining custom css class:

<style type="text/css">
    td.myClass a
    {
        color: red;
    }
</style>

and then setting it for the column like this: ItemStyle-CssClass="myClass".
