How to set formatting for a range of cells in WinForms GridControl?
Formatting a range of cells
You can use the GridControl’s cell merging method by passing a GridRangeInfo object to it to change the appearance of a range of cells.
To set the Interior and TextColor for a range of cells, you can use the ChangeCells method and the QueryCellInfo Event.
// formatting is done by using the GridStyleInfo
GridStyleInfo style = new GridStyleInfo();
style.TextColor = Color.Green;
style.Text = "Welcome";
//interior property is used to change the backcolor
style.Interior = new BrushInfo(Color.Yellow);
//Range of cell can be selected using GridRangeInfo
gridControl1.ChangeCells(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1, 1, 4, 5), style);'Formatting is done by using the GridStyleInfo
Dim style As New GridStyleInfo()
style.TextColor = Color.Red style.Text = "Welcome"
'interior property is used to change the backcolor
style.Interior = New BrushInfo(Color.Yellow)
' Range of cell can be selected using GridRangeInfo
gridControl1.ChangeCells(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1, 1, 4, 5), style)QuerycellInfoEvent
void gridControl1_QueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
if (e.RowIndex > 0 && e.RowIndex < 5 && e.ColIndex > 0 && e.ColIndex < 6)
{
e.Style.Text = "welcome";
//interior property is used to change the backcolor
e.Style.Interior = new BrushInfo(Color.Yellow);
e.Style.TextColor = Color.Green;
}
}Private Sub gridControl1_QueryCellInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs)
If e.RowIndex > 0 AndAlso e.RowIndex < 5 AndAlso e.ColIndex > 0 AndAlso e.ColIndex < 6 Then
e.Style.Text = "welcome"
' interior property is used to change the backcolor
e.Style.Interior = New BrushInfo(Color.Yellow)
e.Style.TextColor = Color.Green
