Question: How Do I Change the fontweight of a column

[Jorge Gonzalez]

Hello,

     I want to programmatically bold the text that appears in first column of my grid.

Thanks

Hello Jorge Gonzalez,

This is as easy as creating a very simply CellStyle for your first column. For example:

<telerik:RadGridView Name="playersGrid" Grid.Row="1" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
    ColumnsWidthMode="Auto">
    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Position}">
            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellStyle>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewCell}">
                    <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
                </Style>
            </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellStyle>
        </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>

Thanks Milan ,

   I think your approach is used when you define how the grid columns will look prior to loading the data. I came up with a solution (probably not the best) that works. In the RowLoaded event of the grid I typed this line of code:

e.Rows.Cells[0].FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold;

CellEditTemplate bug:

A Control used in the DataTemplate does not get it's Style Property.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name,Mode=TwoWay}">
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontFamily="Arial"/>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
<telerik:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<telerik:RadWatermarkTextBox
Text="{Binding Name,Mode=TwoWay}" Style="{StaticResource RadWatermarkTextBoxStyle}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

RadWatermarkTextBoxStyle is not applied.
Setting properties explicitly is a workaround but not a solution; it will restrict Theming.

I have a simple project for you where the problem is easily reproducible. Your attach files link doesn't allow me to upload the zipped solution. If you can give me your email address, i'll forward it to you for review.

Hello,

Indeed, you can not attach the project since the forums are allowed only for image attachments. Please open a support ticket and attach your sample project to it so we can test it locally and provide you with further assistance.
