Hello Patrick,

Thanks for writing.
Could you please send a screenshot of how the GMail-like label looks like ? I'm having troubles finding it.
Can you please also elaborate a bit more on the requested functionality.

Kind regards,

Hello Victor,

Sorry, I cannot find how to attach a screenshot to my reply. I open the following support ticket to attach a screenshot:  184540

You will notice (in the screeshot) the colored (filled) filled rounded rectangle, with a text, appearing as prefix in of the email subject, in the subject column. This is what I am talking about. If it's not clear enough. I will elaborate more, just let me.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Patrick.

Hi Patrick,

The screenshot sent in the support ticket helped me understand your goals. Your scenario is possible with RadGridView, since our controls provide you with the ability to apply a wide range of customizations.

In your case you should create you own custom type of cell inherited from the base cell type GridDataCellElement. The creation of the cell should take place in the CreateCell event handler. For each of the labels we are using a special type of element - LightVisualElement. These elements are arranged in a custom layout by overriding ArrangeOverride method. In the SetContentCore we are assigning the Text property of the last LightVisualElement responsible for displaying the data. Finally, we set the Visibility property of the GMail-like labels according to a custom condition in the CellFormatting event handler (in our case this condition is the index of the data rows).

If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,
Nikolay
