Font size not changing

[Finn]

What do I have to do to make font size changes take effect?

Seems the size remains unchanged no matter if I change it at design time or at run time.

I tried this:
Me.RadGridView1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 3.0!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))

Compare the amount of data shown on a MS ListView control to the RadGridView control.

Also, any way to speed up loading of data. Takes about 5 times as long than loading a ListView in VB6 with the same data. 

With RadGridView1
            .GridElement.BeginUpdate()
            Dim command As OleDbCommand
            command = New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM FinalSettings")
            command.Connection = New OleDbConnection(My.Settings.WorkSpaceMgrConnectionString)
            command.Connection.Open()
            .MasterGridViewTemplate.LoadFrom(command.ExecuteReader())
            command.Connection.Close()
            .GridElement.EndUpdate()
End With

Hello Finn,

Thank you for contacting us.

We recommend using themes created with the Visual Style Builder tool for changing the visual style of RadControls. You can find more about the VSB here:

and here:

To change the font used in cells in RadGridView through code, you should process the CellFormatting event. This event is fired every time when a cell needs to update its visual state. The following code snippet demonstrates this behavior:

font = New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 3.0!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))


Private Sub radGridView1_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CellFormattingEventArgs)
    e.CellElement.Font = font
End Sub

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Sincerely yours,
Jack
