Changing the font used to display text in a GridRecordItem (Visual Basic)

This sample illustrates how to change the font used to display the text in each individual GridRecordItem using the GridRecordItemMetrics object in the BeforeDrawRow event.

' This constant is declared in the General code section  
Const COLUMN_MODIFIED = 4  

Dim fntStrike As StdFont  

' Retrieve the currently set font for text in GridRecordItems  
Set fntStrike = wndGridControl.PaintManager.TextFont  

' Add the strikethrough property to the current font  
fntStrike.Strikethrough = True  

' 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 only executes if the GridRecordItem is in the GridColumn  
    ' with an Index of COLUMN_MODIFIED  
    If (Item.Index = COLUMN_MODIFIED) Then  
        ' If the value of the GridRecordItem is 6/18/2002, then change the font used to display  
        ' text.  
        If (Item.Value = #6/18/2002#) Then  
            Set Metrics.Font = fntStrike  
        End If  
    End If  
End Sub
