Example

Modifying the BackColor of a GridRecordItem (Visual Basic)

This sample illustrates how to modify the BackColor of a GridRecordItem using the GridRecordItemMetrics object in the BeforeDrawRow event.

' This event is called for each GridRecordItem in each GridRow before it is drawn  
Private Sub wndGridControl_BeforeDrawRow(ByVal Row As XtremeGridControl.IGridRow, _  
                                           ByVal Item As XtremeGridControl.IGridRecordItem, _  
                                           ByVal Metrics As XtremeGridControl.IGridRecordItemMetrics)  

    ' This block of code is only executed if the index of the GridRow the GridRecordItem is on is  
    ' an even number. This will cause the code to be executed for every other row. So the BackColor  
    ' of all GridRecordItems in a GridRow will be modified.  
    If (Row.Index Mod 2 = 0) Then  
        ' This will change the BackColor of the GridRecordItem  
        Metrics.BackColor = RGB(255, 245, 255)  
    End If  
End Sub
