Special Conditional Formating

[Xavier Soares]

Hello,

Is it possible to add a column to a radgridview, that corresponds to a another specific column value?
 
For instance, if a value in column A is greater than 10, in column B, I want to show an exclamation point or an image that corresponds to that condition. I want to create a grid like the outlook messages list (using exclamation points, envelops, etc.)

I'm using the conditional formating but, as long as I know, I can only apply row/cell color formating.

Thank You.

Hi Luis,

Thank you for this question.

Yes, this is possible. I suggest you using the CellFormatting event. This event is fired every time when a cell needs to change its visual state. Check the code snipped below:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement is GridImageCellElement)
    {
        if ((int)e.CellElement.RowInfo.Cells["Value"].Value > 2)
        {
            e.CellElement.Image = Resources.red;
        }
        else
        {
            e.CellElement.Image = Resources.green;
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have other questions.

Hello,

I'm having problems applying a backcolor  to a cell when using the following code:

Private Sub RadGridProposals_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles RadGridProposals.CellFormatting

Select e.CellElement.ColumnIndex

Case 9

If Convert.ToInt32(e.CellElement.RowInfo.Cells("Approved").Value) = 1 Then

e.CellElement.Image =

My.Resources.Order_16x16

End If

Case 10

If Convert.ToInt32(e.CellElement.RowInfo.Cells("Approved").Value) = 1 Then

e.CellElement.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(194, 214, 155)

End If

End Select

End Sub

I cant apply a color to text but not the cell backcolor. Is it possible to do so?

Thank Your for your help.

Hi Luis,

In order to visualize the back color of a CellElement, you should set its DrawFill to True:

e.CellElement.DrawFill = True

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
