UltraComboEditor Changing a cell property

Armin posted over 11 years ago

Hello

I use a UltraCombo control that is bound to a data source.

Before the UltraCombo pops up, I want to change the background color of the selected rows in a cell or an entire column.(see attachment).

This works only with a draw filter?

Unfortunately, I could find no similar example in this forum.

For a code example, I would be very grateful.

Thanks already for your efforts!

Hi,

Have you tried setting the SelectedAppearance on the Cell?

Hello Mike,

yes I've tried already that as follows:

ultraCombo1.SelectedRow.Cells[0].SelectedAppearance.BackColor = Color.White;
ultraCombo1.SelectedRow.Cells[0].Appearance.BackColor = Color.White;
ultraCombo1.ActiveRow.Cells[0].SelectedAppearance.BackColor = Color.White;
ultraCombo1.ActiveRow.Cells[0].Appearance.BackColor = Color.White;
ultraCombo1.DisplayLayout.ActiveRow.Cells[0].SelectedAppearance.BackColor = Color.White;
ultraCombo1.DisplayLayout.ActiveRow.Cells[0].Appearance.BackColor = Color.White;
ultraCombo1.DisplayLayout.Rows[ultraCombo1.SelectedRow.Index].Cells[0].SelectedAppearance.BackColor = Color.White;
ultraCombo1.DisplayLayout.Rows[ultraCombo1.SelectedRow.Index].Cells[0].Appearance.BackColor = Color.White;

Unfortunately, this has not led to the desired result.

This code would only work after the row was selected or activated. What event is it in?

Hi Mike,.

I have included the set of color properties to the following 2 events:

UltraCombo1.BeforeDropDown (...)
UltraCombo1.RowSelected (...)

Hi Mike,.

I already suspected that it would go only with a Drawfilter class.

I slightly modified your example for the grid and now it works for a UltraCombo control.

Thank you for your help and tips.

Yes, I think ActiveAppearance on the cell was added in 2010, so your version doesn't have it. In the old version, the only way to handle this was to use a DrawFilter. There's a sample of this approach here:

Hi Mike,

the property SelectedAppearance.BackColor I had implemented already (see above).

The ActiveAppearance property is not available (see screenshot).

Can it be that my problem and the missing property in version of the Infragistics tools are?

Hi,

Hm. I would think this would work in RowSelected:

ultraCombo1.SelectedRow.Cells[0].SelectedAppearance.BackColor = Color.White;

Maybe you need to set the ActiveAppearamce, too.

ultraCombo1.SelectedRow.Cells[0].ActiveAppearance.BackColor = Color.White;
