How to set Hex formatting of integer cell in WinForms GridControl?

Integer format as hex decimal

As per WinForms GridControl architecture, the hexadecimal format like {0x{0:X4} cannot be assigned by using the Format property. As we have used the IFormattable interface to convert the format to a string, the format has to be converted from a String.Format method. In the below sample, HexDecimal format to the integer cell has been set using the QueryCellInfo event.

this.gridControl1.QueryCellInfo += new GridQueryCellInfoEventHandler(gridControl1_QueryCellInfo);
void gridControl1_QueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.ColIndex == 3 && e.RowIndex>0)
   {
       e.Style.Text = string.Format("0x{0:X4}", 255);
   }
}

Private Me.gridControl1.QueryCellInfo += New GridQueryCellInfoEventHandler(AddressOf gridControl1_QueryCellInfo)
Private Sub gridControl1_QueryCellInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs)
   If e.ColIndex = 3 AndAlso e.RowIndex>0 Then
    e.Style.Text = String.Format("0x{0:X4}", 255)
   End If
End Sub
