Row Magnifier

[Phi]

Is it possible to do something like a row magnifier effect for the grid? Something like on some mouse's zoom button but for the current row? I think it would be pretty cool to have something like that so the text on the current row could be easier to read, especially if small font was used for the grid to fit all the data needed.

Just a little candy for us little kids :)

I tried the following code to increase the font size of the current row in the grid without success. None of the cells has Style!!! I noticed that the grid has Style property but not sure how to use it!

private Font ChangeFontSize(Font font, float sizeChange)
{
    return new Font(font.FontFamily, font.Size + sizeChange);
}

private void ChangeFontSize(GridViewRowInfo row, float sizeChange)
{
    foreach (GridViewCellInfo cell in row.Cells)
    {
        if (cell.HasStyle)
            cell.Style.Font = ChangeFontSize(cell.Style.Font, sizeChange);
    }
}

private void gridView_CurrentRowChanged(object sender, CurrentRowChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.OldRow != null)
        ChangeFontSize(e.OldRow, -3F);

    if (e.CurrentRow != null)
        ChangeFontSize(e.CurrentRow, 3F);
}

I read up on other threads in regard to style and tried to do the same in RowFormatting event. But some how the ResetValue does not seem to work with FontProperty. My current row's font size keeps getting bigger and bigger after each time!!!

private void gridView_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.RowElement.RowInfo.IsCurrent)
    {
        e.RowElement.Font = ChangeFontSize(e.RowElement.Font, 2);
    }
    else
    {
        e.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

I resorted to used fixed size font for current row and a different fixed but smaller font for the other rows. That seems to work better. With the AutoRowSized property turned on, it works pretty good!\

private Font GetLargeFontSize(Font font)
{
    return new Font(font.FontFamily, 9.75F);
}

private Font RestoreFontSize(Font font)
{
    return new Font(font.FontFamily, 8.25F);
}

private void gridView_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    {
        e.RowElement.Font = GetLargeFontSize(e.RowElement.Font);
    else
    {
        //e.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.RowElement.Font = RestoreFontSize(e.RowElement.Font);
}
