Hi Mike,

I have to change the cell color depending upon the content for every row. Here is the code I am using

private void ultraGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, InitializeRowEventArgs e)
{
         CellsCollection cells = e.Row.Cells;

         foreach (UltraGridCell cell in cells)

         {
              if (cell.Column.DataType != typeof(System.Double))
              {
               continue;
              }
              if (!cell.Column.Hidden)
              {
              ColorCell(cell);
              }
          }
}

private void ColorCell(UltraGridCell cell)
{
        if (cell.Value == null)
        {
             return;
         }
        string s = cell.Value.ToString();
        if (s == string.Empty)
        {
            return;
        }
        double value = double.Parse(s);
        if (value > 0)
        {
         cell.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(177, 216, 64);
        }
        else if (value < 0)
        {
        cell.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(255, 91, 71);
        }
        else
        {
        //in case of zero
        cell.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.White;
        }

}

Please explain the reason for such a situation.

Hi Ishan,

In this case, the cell colors should be applying properly. I created a small sample using code similar to yours. Please take a look and let me know whether it works for you.

One additional change that I made was to disable selected and active appearances, as these will take precedence over cell.Appearance whether you are using a style or not.

ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.SelectedAppearancesEnabled = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.False;
ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.ActiveAppearancesEnabled = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.False;

You can always tweak these appearances using cell.ActiveAppearance and cell.SelectedAppearance if you prefer not to disable them.

Hey Mike,

I am thankful for your help. But the issue still persists, no theme comprehends the fact that an appearance is applied on the cell.

BTW you provided a solution with a normal grid I am not facing any such issues with the normal grid. I am talking about the issue in a CARDVIEW grid. Please provide some insight if the handling in cardview is different.

Hi Ishan,

I am currently working with the development team to verify the intended behavior of the appearance properties while in cardview. I will keep you up to date on my findings.

Hi Ishan,

Appearance properties set on a cell should override appearance properties set by a style. The behavior you are seeing is not expected, and I haven't been able to reproduce it. What version of our toolkit are you using? Are you able to send a reproduction sample? I have integrated the code you provided into a sample, but was unable to reproduce it. I did change the grid to cardview in my sample, but the appearances worked as expected.

Hello Mike,

I am attaching source code, please check and suggest where we are missing.
