Hi,

I am using the wpf datagrid in virtualizationmode = true; mode. How can I change the font color {style} of a particular column?

many thanks

Peter 

 

Hi Peter,

You can change the background color of a particular column by Styling the DataCells and the ColumnManagerCell of your data grid with a Trigger that has for condition the FieldName set to the field name of the Column of interest and a Setter to the Property Background with the desired color.

Hi Mohamed,

I am new with the datagrid for wpf:( can you help me with some example code? If i can manage the font color of a column I am going to buy the grid.

Hi Peter, 

The following sample shows you how to set the background color of the DataCells, to blue, of the Column ShipVia :

 i.e.:

 

<Style TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:DataCell}">

<Style.Triggers>

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource self}, Path=ParentColumn.FieldName}" Value="ShipVia">

<Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue" />

</DataTrigger>

</Style.Triggers>

</Style>

Hi Mohamed,

 The Background color works:) many thanks. But the font color (Foreground) doesn't:(

Style style = new Style(typeof(DataCell));

// Setter setter = new Setter(DataCell.BackgroundProperty, Brushes.Red);

 

Setter setter = new Setter( DataCell.ForegroundProperty, Brushes.Red);

style.Setters.Add(setter);

this.grid.Resources[typeof(DataCell)] = style;

Is it possible to set the font color for a column?

 Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

I was able to change the font color of my data cells using your code snippet, so it definately is possible to do it.

If you make a sample application that reproduces the issue and send it to support@xceed.com, we can try to investigate it further.

(please include a link to this forum thread in your email)

Hi i have a OrderID field in my grid so i write this code to change the grid row color basen on it's value but it is not working please help

 

Style style = new Style(typeof(Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow ));
            DataTrigger styleDataTrigger = new DataTrigger();
            System.Windows.Data.Binding binding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("OrderID");
            styleDataTrigger.Binding = binding;
            styleDataTrigger.Value = "10249";
            style.Triggers.Add(styleDataTrigger);
            Setter setter = new Setter(Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow.BackgroundProperty, Brushes.Yellow  );
            style.Setters.Add(setter);
            this.dataGridControl.Resources[typeof(Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow)] = style;

When using a Trigger (or DataTrigger), you need to put the Setter on the Trigger and not on the Style:

  Style style = new Style(typeof(Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow ));
  DataTrigger styleDataTrigger = new DataTrigger();
  System.Windows.Data.Binding binding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("OrderID");
  styleDataTrigger.Binding = binding;
  styleDataTrigger.Value = "10249";
  Setter setter = new Setter(Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow.BackgroundProperty, Brushes.Yellow  );
  styleDataTrigger.Setters.Add( setter );
  style.Triggers.Add(styleDataTrigger);
  this.dataGridControl.Resources[typeof(Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow)] = style;
