Build a multi-coloured Data bound Grid.

[iKiLL]

Hi all

I am currently using a Bound Read Only data grid.

What I am looking to do is have different colour rows depending on the data
in the row.

EG. If the status = Closed then that row should be Red, If the Status = Open
then That row should be Green.

I am trying not to loop through all the rows setting the Back colour of each
row or I may as well not bother binding the grid.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

If this is a DataGridView, then you could try handling the RowPrePaint
event and there conditionally set the BackColor.

void dataGridView1_RowPrePaint(object sender,
DataGridViewRowPrePaintEventArgs e)
{
if (e.RowIndex == 1)
dataGridView1.Rows[1].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor =
Color.Red;
else if(e.RowIndex == 3)
dataGridView1.Rows[3].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor =
Color.Blue;
}
