Datagrid font/colour change per row

[bbuk]

Hi
Is it possible to set the font and or colour for an individual row in a bound datagrid? If so how do I do it

I don't believe that you can do that in the datagrid.

However you can do it with the MSFlexgrid. You will set the cellforecolor property. To set a full row you will need to loop through the columns and set each cell's cellforecolor property appropriatly. Thanks and Good Luck!

Thanks for that advice. Is there a down side to using the MSFlexGrid for a very basic application which stores, retrieves and updates a log file in an access db?

The main downside to the MSFlexGrid is that it is noneditable. However there is a workaround that makes the grid look and act like an editable grid. It requires the coding for a floating text box. Search this site for the MSFlexGrid and you will see some examples of how this can be done.

If you are not suscessful, let me know and I can email you a test project that shows how I make the MSFlexGrid "editable". Thanks and Good Luck!
