Hi,
I have a grid with a style defined for active row (background color is blue), and it works fine.
But in case the user is editing one cell of this active row, I would like the background of the entire row not to be blue (to remain normal).
Is there a way to achieve this (through .isl or through code) ?
Thanks,Verane.
Hi Verane,
Do you just want the active cell to appear normal? Or do you want the entire row to appear normal any time a cell goes into edit mode?
For the former, all you have to do is use the ActiveCellAppearance. You could set the ForeColor and BackColor to the same colors your normal cells are using.
For the latter, you would have to handle it in code. It's pretty easy. You just handle the BeforeEnterEditMode and BeforeExitEditMode events. In BeforeEnterEditMode, you reset the ActiveRowAppearance and in the BeforeExitEditMode, you set it back.
Hi Mike,
I want to change the color of the entire row.
I already tried what you suggested, but changing the color in the BeforeEnterEditMode like this:
ActiveRow.Appearance.BackColor =
Color.White;
has no effect. The line remains blue when I enter in edition, whereas I can see in debug mode that I pass in the BeforeEnterEditMode function containing the line above.
Did you tried it ?
Regards,
Verane.
ActiveRow.Appearance is the Appearance on the Row that happens to be Active. It's not the same as ActiveRowAppearance, which is the appearance that the grid continuously applies to whatever row is active.
So you might need to set ActiveRowAppearance, instead of ActiveRow.Appearance.
Another thing you can try is using the ActiveRow.CellAppearance.The CellAppearance should take precedence over anything in the row.

I can't really try it, because I don't know exactly what's happening and where the appearance is coming from in your application. How you turn it off or override it depends greatly on where it's coming from in the first place.
If you would like to post a small sample project that demonstrates the behavior you are getting, I could try a few things and see if I can figure out how to get it to work like you want.
