Change Color of Datagrid Column Text

[Guest]

Hi
I am trying to programatically change the forecolor of the text in a textboxcolumn of a datagrid at runtime. The datagridtextboxcolumn is standard, and was assigned as a gridcolumnstyle of the datagrid's tablestyle on form loading
How do I reference the textboxcolumn that I added to the grid to change it's text forecolor
Thanks
JT

Hi,

The DataGridTextBoxColumn style does not support change its backcolor or
forecolor. To customize the color on a DataGrid Column Style you need write
your DataGridColumnStyle class and override the Paint method to draw the
column text.
Here is an article on CodeProject.com, I hope it will give you a good
sample for how to write a ColumnStyle:

If you still have problem on this issue, please feel free to reply this
thread.
Thanks!
