Hello, please excuse me if this has been covered in the forums already.
Previously I was using ConditionalFormatting with a MS DataGrid. I want to achieve a similar effect with the Ultragrid.
I have a large grid that looks a bit like a spreadsheet. there is no user input. The values in the cells change automatically in response to changes in the underlying datasource.
If a cell value falls outside a certain range, I want to highlight the cell to the operator in Red.
Would I be correct in using the InitializeRow event and then looping through all my columns to see if any of the cells were outside the threshold. (There are multiple columns containing simialr data)
Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Is there something like an initializeCell event that would be raised in response to an individual cell change due to an underlying data source change?

Yes, that's a good way to do it.

No, only InitializeRow.
If you are concerned about the performance of using InitializeRow, then I recommend that you check out the WinGrid Performance Guide. There is some specific advice there about how to use the InitializeRow event with appearances most efficiently.
