ConditionalFormatting on Not visible column

[Simone Belia]

Hi I am trying to apply a conditional formatting to a column (Status) set as not visible in the gridview properties.

If the columns is visible everthing works fine, but if it is not visible the conditional formatting doesn't work.

there is a way to let it work?

Thank you in advance

Hi Simone Belia,

Thank you for this question.

Conditional formatting in RadGridView works only for columns which are visible. You should use the CellFormatting event for more complex conditions. Refer to the following code snippet:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.ColumnInfo is GridViewDataColumn)
    {
        GridDataCellElement dataCell = (GridDataCellElement)e.CellElement;
        GridViewDataColumn dataColumn = (GridViewDataColumn)e.CellElement.ColumnInfo;
        if (dataColumn.FieldName == "Value")
        {
            if ((int)dataCell.Value > 10 && !dataCell.RowElement.IsCurrent)
            {
                dataCell.BackColor = Color.Red;
                dataCell.DrawFill = true;
            }
            else
            {
                dataCell.DrawFill = false;
            }
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write, if you have other questions.
