[Solved] Gridview row formatting

[Nikk grey]

Hi,

I need to change the backcolor, forecolor etc of a complete row.

I dont want to use any events.

I am adding rows to gridview in an event, in whose arguments  i am already supplied with a color. So i just want it like in a standard listview:

this.listviewcontrol.forecolor = color.red;

is this way possible in formatting a row of gridview.

I have already tried 

this.gvTCPIPEvents.Rows[this.gvTCPIPEvents.Rows.Count - 1].VisualElement.ForeColor = e.messageColor;

but nothing happens.

I dont wish to use any of the rowformatting or cellformatting events, as listed on all of the posts.

Any workaround possible.

Hi Nikk grey,

RadGridView uses UI virtualization of the grid rows and creates visual elements only for the rows that are currently visible on screen. They are reused upon scrolling. That's why you can't set VisualElement.ForeColor directly. You have to handle CellFormatting event in this case. However we plan to extend our API in future and maybe we will add support for setting the BackColor directly through the row object. Could please specify why you don't want to handle one of the formatting events? We will appreciate your feedback.

So,

basically i have to make some kind of condition object and keep a track for it, in order to implement row formatting.

I didn't like those events because of multiple firing on scrolling blah blah blah. My resources are limited and i didn't want to waste much on presentation layer. 

* I am building a set of servers (i.e. TCP/IP, UDP, Serial, and bluetooth) all running simultaneously. They presentation layer utility i am building can be used remotely on a local network and on the host server computer. Using it on the host server causes some strain as it is already computing a lot of data.

my code look like this

        private void MultiParamsUnsafeAddTCPIPEventsGvEntry(InformationReceivedEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                this.gvTCPIPEvents.Rows.Add(new object[] { e.sentTime.ToLongTimeString(), e.methodType.ToString(), e.reportType.ToString(), e.message });
                this.GridViewBestFitColumn(this.gvTCPIPEvents, ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                this.EventReporter.WriteToLog(Source.Application, ex);
            }
        }

where i have supplied some color in event arguments from somewhere the event is firing from.

so what would be my best options now for setting row color for each record, which will retain as it.

Dont want to set them again.

:(

thank you for your support
