How to change font size in ChildTemplate cells

[Ljubo Žižić]

Hi

I have as GridView with one ChildGridViewTemplate. I need the data in Child template to have lower font size then MasterGrid for example:
- mastergrid rows and header row in font size 10
- childGrid rows and header row in font size 8


Btw I am really enjoying your controls!

Thanks in advance

Hi Ljubo Žižić,

Thank you for contacting us.

This is easy. You should handle the CellFormatting event and check whether the ViewTemplate of the formatted cell has parent. Please consider the sample below:

Font font = new Font("Segoe UI", 8f);

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.ViewTemplate.Parent != null)
    {
        e.CellElement.Font = font;
    }
}

If you have any other questions, please ask the person who purchased the controls in your company to add you as a License Developer to the purchase. More on License Developers and the steps that need to be performed you can find there: www.telerik.com/account/faqs.aspx.

Thank you this was very helpful!
It would be great to apply that same font to column headers of childtemplate cells, so whole childgrid is in the same font and font size.

thanks

Hi Ljubo Žižić,

If you want to set the font size of the column headers' cells as well, you should use the ViewCellFormatting event:

void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.ViewTemplate.Parent != null)
    {
        e.CellElement.Font = font;
    }
}

If you have any other questions, please ask the person who purchased the controls in your company to add you as a License Developer to the purchase. More on License Developers and the steps that need to be performed you can find there: www.telerik.com/account/faqs.aspx.
