Y'know... another thing you might consider is using Application Styling. You could style not just your grids but your whole application. Then you would just need one line of code in the app to load the style library and it would apply to all grids.

 I don't know of any easier way.

You could load the preset file at run-time instead of Design-time. That way, you would not have to update each grid individually. You would just need to save the preset file and distribute it to the other developers.  

Jepp, that is what I've done. Created a custom control based on the UltraGrid component.

I added all of my style/behaviour definitions here, but some of them simply would not apply (for instance: the column header style)

Hi,

maybe it is a good idear to biuld a custom user control out of the grid and place it in an own assembly. When doing this you only have to change the gridstyle only in this assembly and all dialogs that will use that control will be updated automatically after recompiling. So you can see the changes by design time.

Maybe this will help.

 Kind regards,

 Ralf

Thanks for your reply,

I've tryed the Presets and they work great. but the problem is that if I change the preset, I need to apply the changes to all grids in the application, that's a lot of work :)

I would like to to the change at one place so that it applys to all my grids. Is that possible?

And how do I use the presets so that everyone in our project can use the same preset for their grids?

Thanks in advance
