Setting FontData.Bold via Appearance object on cell
posted

Good Morning guys,

I am trying to create an Appearance object with the FontData.Bold property set to true and assign this object to a Cell  using the UltraGrid.

var b new Appearance("a1");

b.Data.FontData.Bold = DefaultableBoolean.True;

_grid.DisplayLayout.Appearances.Add(b);

_grid.Rows[0].Cells[2].Appearance = _grid.DisplayLayout.Appearances["a1"];

This fails to work.

Thanks

    Hi,

    The Data property returns an AppearanceData which is essentially just a struct that is used for appearance resolution and merging. Frankly, I was surprised to discover that the property was even public, but I guess we use it across a lot of difference assemblies.

    Anyway, as a rule, you should pretty much never have to use the Data property on the Appearance. It's basically for Infragistics internal use.

    Just an update.... This seems to work if I do this..

    b.FontData.Bold = DefaultableBoolean.True;

    Can you explain what the difference between b.FontData b.Data.FontData is.

    Thank you
