I want to change font style of my whole grid, not just one cell.

[Sagar]

hi , i am using the following code for the change of the Font according to the standard Font stored in DB(which is getting populated previous to this code) . But the Font remains the Standard "Microsoft Sans Serif". I want to change Font of each and every cell. Please suggest..
I also tried the Commented code : as
//e.CellElement.Font = new Font("Marathi Sharda", 10);
but it didnt work...

 private void ChangeFont()

        {

            for (int i = 0; i < DgrdCustomerMaster.Rows.Count; i++)

            {

                for(int j=0;j<DgrdCustomerMaster.Rows[i].Cells.Count; j++)

                {

                    DgrdCustomerMaster.Rows[i].Cells[j].Style.Font = new Font(DgrdCustomerMaster.Rows[i].Cells["dgrdFont"].Value.ToString(), 10); ;

                }

            }

        }

private void ChangeFont()
       {
           for (int i = 0; i < DgrdCustomerMaster.Rows.Count; i++)
           {
               for(int j=0;j<DgrdCustomerMaster.Rows[i].Cells.Count; j++)
               {
                   DgrdCustomerMaster.Rows[i].Cells[j].Style.Font = new Font(DgrdCustomerMaster.Rows[i].Cells["dgrdFont"].Value.ToString(), 10); ;
               }
           }
       }

private void DgrdCustomerMaster_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
       {
          // e.CellElement.Font = new Font("Marathi Sharda", 10);
           ChangeFont();
       }

Morning, 

Hope you're well today. 
You should be able to change the font for the entire grid in one go using the following

this.radGridView1.TableElement.Font = new Font("Arial", 14);

Hope this helps, but let me know if you have any more questions.

Or just change it for data cells in this way..

private Font m_Font = new Font("Arial", 14);
private void  RadGridView1_CellFormatting(System.Object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement is GridDataCellElement) {
        e.CellElement.Font = m_Font;
    }
}

Let me know if you need more information

Hello Sagar,

By the way, the font won't change if the font is not specified exactly as it is on the PC or it doesn't exist. So if write add

e.CellElement.Font = new Font("Comic Sans", 14);

then this will not change the font face.

However, 

e.CellElement.Font = new Font("Comic Sans MS", 14);

will work.

Hello, 

In the same way as you would use CellFormatting, you can also use RowFormatting. Have a look at this documentation link which should help, but if you have any other questions, just let me know.

Hi, Richard 
              It has helped but partially as i didnt need to change the Font of buttons text in that row(Sorry for not specifying that clearly in the previous post).So please tell me whether i can get the Column in the RowFormatting event..

Thanks & Regards
Sagar

Hi Sagar, 

You can get to the column or cell that you need via the RowFormatting event in the following way: 

Private Sub RadGridView1_RowFormatting(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.RowFormattingEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.RowFormatting
    MessageBox.Show(e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells(0).Value.ToString()) 'E.g. The value of a particulat cell in that row (The CellInfo)
    MessageBox.Show(e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells(0).ColumnInfo.HeaderText) ' E.g. The header text of a particular cell in that row (The ColumnInfo)
End Sub

hope that helps, but let me know if you need more info
