    Sure,
    Suppose I have a child form and a grid is displayed. the user can use color gallery on the ribbon to format the cells as he/she want. also this formatting must be saved (Maybe using SaveLayout method).
    Formatting also includes Font and FontStyles.
    Is it clear enough?
    Thank you again Emanuel, You really help me.

    Hello again,

    Ok, i understood the part about font and fontstyle, but what about colors, what kind of formatting? conditional formatting? background colors? header background colors? fore colors?

    Hello again,

    Ok... that sounds very simple to do, just take a look at the examples application: RibbonBar / First Look on how to create the color / color chooser element - This should be enough to create the ribbon components necessary for this operation.

    After that you will have to register to the grid's CellFormatting / RowFormatting event (I believe that there are a lot of examples on the forums on how to use these) and set the appropriate colors based on the users selection.

    One other thing, for the grid to apply the selection you should add these two lines:
    radGridView.BeginUpdate();
    // maybe do some other things
    radGridView.EndUpdate();


    Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

    Best Regards,

    Hello Tooraj,

    Thank you for writing.

    What I understand from your requirements is that you want something like the MS Excel formatting. However, this is not supported by RadGridView -  you can format the cells colors, but you cannot save the formatting as there is no such serialization provided by RadGridView. 

    I will be happy to answer any further questions should you have such.

    Kind regards,
