Forecolor formatting do not apply to cell

[FMorales]

Hi,

I am trying to apply cell color depending to the text value of a cell in a row, but I does not works.

What I am doing wrong?

I am following the telerik example:

http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-cells-formatting-cells.html

Here is my code that I invoke after pupulate data by a datasource binding list.

private void RefreshColorsOfResultsInGrid()
{
    this.radGridViewControl.BeginInit();

    foreach (GridViewRowInfo row in this.radGridViewControl.Rows)
    {
        GridViewCellInfo cell = row.Cells["ResultAsString"];

        if ((cell.Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "NEW") || (cell.Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "NEW*"))
        {
            cell.Style.CustomizeFill = true;
            cell.Style.DrawFill = true;
            cell.Style.ForeColor = Color.Green;
            cell.Style.Font = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);
        }
        else if ((cell.Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "OLD") || (cell.Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "OLD*") )
        {
            cell.Style.CustomizeFill = true;
            cell.Style.DrawFill = true;
            cell.Style.ForeColor = Color.Red;
            cell.Style.Font = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);
        }
        else
        {
            cell.Style.CustomizeFill = true;
            cell.Style.DrawFill = true;
            cell.Style.ForeColor = Color.Black;
        }
    }

    this.radGridViewControl.EndInit();
    this.radGridViewControl.Refresh();

}

Problem solved.

I have just added:                 

cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

Thanks

Hi Francisco,

Thank you for writing.

That is correct, if you need to set the back color, you should use the BackColor property. Here is how your method might look like:

 Font font = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);
 private void RefreshColorsOfResultsInGrid()
 {
     foreach (GridViewRowInfo row in this.radGridView1.Rows)
     {
         GridViewCellInfo cell = row.Cells["ResultAsString"];
         cell.Style.CustomizeFill = true;
         cell.Style.DrawFill = true;
         cell.Style.Font = font;

         if ((cell.Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "NEW") || (cell.Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "NEW*"))
         {
             cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Green;
             cell.Style.Font = font;
         }
         else if ((cell.Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "OLD") || (cell.Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "OLD*"))
         {
             cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
             cell.Style.Font = font;
         }
         else
         {
             cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Black;
         }
     }
 }
