Custom column with Outlook style category colors

[Marcel]

Hello,

I am working on an simple email viewer using the Office 365 API.

I want to make the categories that are assigned to the different emails visible in the GridView in which I show my emails, using the same approach that is used in Outlook.

So a small rectangle with the color of the category followed by the name of the category, an email can have multiple categories in my case.

I want to use a single column to show all categories the email is assigned to.

 

I tryed finding any example but couldnt find it in the XDK samples or the Demo application of the Telerik WPF controls.

Looking for a code example or some guidance to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance,

 

Marcel

Hello Marcel,

To achieve the desired effect, you will need to define your own custom column.

I suggest having a look at our tutorial on how to create a custom column editor as well as this helpful blog post regarding the creation of a custom percentage column.

Let me know if you find the provided resources helpful.
