Hello,

is there any way to set a single property Label font style to bold in the Grid? and is there also a way to set a different background color for the value input field?

I want show the user this property value is required. For this purpose I created a PropertyStoreItemExtended class inheriting the PropertyStoreItem with an added property Required. Now I have to find a way to customize Label and/or Value field in case of the Required property value.

Which PropertyGridEvent or (overridden) Methods can be used for that pupose?

I am trying to set the BackColor of only the value area to a different color, and haven't found a solution.  I am using the ItemFormatting event with the following code, but the value area color is not changing.  I am using the "ValueElement" below the main "VisualElement" to try and access just the value area of the item, but this does not seem to be working.   I can change the color of the entire row (label and value) by setting the BackColor on the main VisualElement, but I only want to change the value back color and not the label back color also.  Thank you.

private void PropertyGrid_ItemFormatting(object sender, PropertyGridItemFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item.Name == "TotalEndgunWettedArea")
            {
                ((PropertyGridItemElement)e.VisualElement).ValueElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
                ((PropertyGridItemElement)e.VisualElement).ValueElement.BackColor = Color.Red;
            }
        }

Hello Sri,

Thank you for writing.

In addition to your code snippet related to the ItemFormatting event, you should set the PropertyGridItemElement.ValueElement.DrawFill property to true:

Since the control uses data virtualization (just like RadGridView and RadListControl) and you should always reset the values of the customized properties, in order to prevent applying the formatting to other items (because of the item reuse). Our RadPropertyGrid >> Customization help article is quite useful about items formatting.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
