Content based row formatting in Hierarchical GridView

[Marco]

Hello Guys

I'm trying to change the font color of the complete row based on a value of a column. Currently I do this:

private void LicensesList_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.RowElement.VisualCells.Count == 0) return;
    e.RowElement.ForeColor = (bool) e.RowElement.VisualCells[7].Value ? Color.Red : Color.Green;
}

which is basically working but not for the Child rows. They appear black at first and change color when I select them. Also, if I do a .MasterTemplate.Refresh() all the columns turn black again until they are selected. Is there something I've missed or is my approach bad?

Thank You

[Marco]

Any Ideas on this?

Hello, Marco, 

I would recommend you to use the CellFormatting event and customize the desired cells considering the a value from the data row. Please refer to the following help article demonstrating how to apply different style: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/cells/formatting-cells 

If you are still experiencing any further difficulties, feel free to submit a support ticket where you can provide a sample project demonstrating the undesired look you are facing. Thus, we would be able to think about a suitable solution and assist you further. Thank you in advance.

I hope this information helps.

Hi Dess

With the CellFormatting Event it works better, thank you. The RowFormatting event looked so tempting...

Kind Regards
