Hello,
This is in connection with my earlier post on Adding a New Unbound Row to WinGrid. Please refer to my Post as well as reply for the background scenario.
Now, based on the description, the new order in my ultragrid is actually in 2 states.
1. Pending: Order placed, waiting for admin approval
2. Approved: Order approved.
Now, I need to color the orders pending approvals. Once the orders are approved, the row color is reset to the default ones. Currently I have reset the color of the rows as WHITE background with BLACK as text color. I can color the rows at perticular index in the grid. But when the grid is sorted or grouped, the color is not(as it is colored based on indexes).
Can anyone suggest how should it be done?
Thanks a lot!
It's not a good idea to rely on the Index of a row, since the index can change. You should probably base the appearance of the row on a value of a cell within that row. You might also want to use the ListObject or ListIndex property of the row which return the underlying data object that the row is bound to or the index of that object in it's collection, respectively.
I could format the row with the PENDING status. I used the initialize row event of the datagrid which gave me the newly added row and I could format it accordingly.
Now, there is another problem. I need to reset the formatting of the row to the default one when I get the confirmation about the added order. Is there any way I can do that? Moreover, I happened to read about Conditional Formatting. Is there any way we can implement at run time as my datasource is populated and bound at run time.
Many Thanks!
Thanks Mike. Can you please elaborate on this or can you please point me to some resource where I can find this. It sounded bit confusing for me. I'll try working on this though.
