[Solved] GridDropDown Conditional ForeColor

[Heath Brown]

Hello,

I have a GridDropdown column that looks like this:

 

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="Role_ID" DataType="System.Int32" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" ListValueField="Role_ID" ListTextField="RoleName"
            HeaderText="Role" SortExpression="Role_ID" UniqueName="Role_ID">

The RoleName field from my datasource will display in the column instead of the actual Role_ID.  Is there any way I can turn the non-editmode forecolor of the RoleName to red when the value of Role_ID = 45?

Thanks for any help,
Heath

Anyone know this?

Hello Heath,

I suggest that you try handling the ItemDataBound event of the grid in the following way:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && !e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem editedItem = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
        if (editedItem["Role_ID"].Text == "45")
            editedItem["Role_ID"].Attributes["style"] = "color: red";

    }
}

I hope this helps.

All the best,
Mira
