Code to make cell bold stopped working

[Michael]

Hello.

I have the following code that used to work:

private void cellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (chkHighlight.Checked && e.RowIndex < grid.RowCount - 1 &&
        e.Column.FieldName != nameof(Audited.ValidFromTime) &&
        e.CellElement.Value?.Equals(grid.Rows[e.RowIndex + 1].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Value) != true)
        e.CellElement.Font = new Font(e.CellElement.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
    else
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
}

For some reason none of the cells comes up bold anymore (I set a breakpoint to make sure the code that sets the Font was being executed).

Any ideas?

Hello, Michael,

Please have in mind that the font creating is a time-consuming operation. Hence, the correct approach is to create a global variable for the font which to be used in the CellFormatting event: 

        Font f = new Font("Arial", 10f, FontStyle.Bold);

        private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Column.Name == "UnitPrice" && e.CellElement.Value != null && (decimal)e.CellElement.Value > 20)
            {
                e.CellElement.Font = f;
            }
            else
            {
                e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
            }
        }

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
