Hi,

Downloaded the Data Grids Tour.... played around with it.

- Problem: On Columns, setting Align to Center or Right does nothing to change the alignment of the column label on the grid. I even went back to Basic Properties and hit refresh grid and still no effect. Is that a bug or does alignment of column headers and data not work?

- How do I color a column or row differently than other columns and rows? Example: Row 3 I want royal blue with white text. Column 6 I want red with white text.

- How do you dynamically create the list of columns? Or is there a hide property that can be used to hide unused columns?

Or do I need to use a 3rd party grid?

Thanks

HI tturner43,

please check these urls, I'm sure you'll find here what you are looking for:
http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lesson ... s/datagrid
http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lesson ... agrid_tips

And please check the "DataGrid" PDF from the first URL, many examples there, too.

And no, no 3rd party DataGrid necessary!

Sorry about that...

I looked at the urls you sent....

Can you individually set the type of editing on a column? For example... one column I need each cell to convert to a options list or select list of 4 items... so that when user clicks cell... pop down of options... user selections one of 4 options... and then the pop down closes and value stored into cell....

I'm assuming this would be done with column template.... or are we limited to only using a text field type of edit?
