Thread: Data Grid - Colour coding

Data Grid - Colour coding Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi, I've searched the forums with no luck on this subject. Basically I'm trying to format rows or cells (similar to the activities tab) on a data grid using different colours dependent on a date I enter into one of the cells. I should imagine this is possible, I'm just unaware of the solution.

All help appreciated.

What version of SalesLogix? I don't beleive that you can set do that with a SalesLogix datagrid, up to 6.2.4 but will be able to do so in 7 (can someone confirm that?)

Otherwise, I suppose another option would to use a third party grid control which would allow for formatting columns that way.

I'm using SalesLogix v 6.2.0.1474, ideally if I can't colour certain cells/rows, is there any way of bolding them instead or changing the appearance in some shape or form?

I can't recall which version this came in, but I don't believe it is available in 6.2.0 (I think it may have been 6.2.3 or 6.2.4), but the grid's CustomDrawCell event allows you to change the color and font.

Sub DataGridCustomDrawCell(Sender, ByRef Node, ByRef Column, IsSelected, IsFocused, ByRef Text, ByRef Color, ByRef Alignment, ByRef Font, ByRef FontColor)
    Font.Bold = True
    Color = YourColor
    'etc
End Sub

But, if you don't see that on the events list in 6.2.0 (and I don't believe you will) then you'd be out of luck until you move to 6.2.4.

I was wrong with the version, we've installed service pack 3 recently so what you suggested Ryan is avaliable. Many thanks, appreciated!
