Hi there,I have grid with a specific display style (columns, rows, colors ect). I would like to use the same style on all my grids, so I currently have a layout file that I apply to all new grids. The problem here is, that each time I change something in the layout, I have to first export the layout file, and then apply the new layout file to all my grids. Is there a way to do this easier\better?
I would like that each time I add a grid, the style is applyed automaticly. I tried doing that in my UltraGrid component, by changeing the Apperance properties, but some of them just would not change.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I'm not sure a Layout file is the right way to go here. A layout is tied to the data structure, so it will only work for grids that are all bound to the same data source. Maybe that's not a problem in your situation, but you should be aware of it.
Another option you might consider is using a Preset. The Presets can be managed from within the grid designer. They are independent of data structure. And I beleive there is a way within the designer to specify the default preset file that all new grids you create will use.
You would still have to save the preset file when you make a change and update any existing grids, but it would handle new grids created at design-time.
Thanks for your reply,
I've tryed the Presets and they work great. but the problem is that if I change the preset, I need to apply the changes to all grids in the application, that's a lot of work :)
I would like to to the change at one place so that it applys to all my grids. Is that possible?
And how do I use the presets so that everyone in our project can use the same preset for their grids?
