Hi Veda,

Thank you for writing.

You can customize the group header appearance by handling the ViewCellFormatting event. You should modify GridGroupContentCellElement properties in this case:
void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    GridGroupContentCellElement contentCell = e.CellElement as GridGroupContentCellElement;
    if (contentCell != null)
    {
        if (font == null)
        {
            font = new Font("Comic Sans MS", 12, FontStyle.Regular);
        }
        contentCell.Font = font;
        contentCell.ForeColor = Color.Red;
    }
}

You may also want to change how specific text parts look. The easiest way to do this is by handling GroupSummaryEvaluate event and use our html like syntax:
void radGridView1_GroupSummaryEvaluate(object sender, GroupSummaryEvaluationEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Context is GridViewGroupRowInfo)
    {
        e.FormatString = "<html><b>{0}:</b><font='Courier MS'><color=green><i>{1}</i>";
    }
}

To enable this feature on you should set the DisableHTMLRendering property to false when handling ViewCellFormatting event:
void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    GridGroupContentCellElement contentCell = e.CellElement as GridGroupContentCellElement;
    if (contentCell != null)
    {
        contentCell.DisableHTMLRendering = false;
    }
}

I hope this helps.
 
All the best,

Hi coders

to get the font to display correctly I had to remove the single quotes. My font name was a single word, eg Arial. Not sure what would happen if there was a space in the font name - as in the example. Maybe then the single quotes would be necessary. Here's the corrected, working (for me) code

 "<html><b>{0}:</b><font=Arial><color=green><i>{1}</i>";

I hope this helps someone.

Useful code as I needed it to change the group font at {1}

Hi Roger,

Yes, your solution is correct. Presently there is an issue when the font name is surrounded with single quotes. I logged the issue in our issue tracking system and we will address it in one of our upcoming releases. Use this link to track the issue status. I updated your Telerik points for this report.
