Hi,

I want to change only a color of part of the text in the cell of datagrid.

For example I have in cell "1(5)" and want to see "1(5)".

I am using .Net 1.1 and working with VS2003.

How can I do this?

Please give me an example.

Thank's

Alexei

Hi,

Here is a sample code. You can try by entering something including "-" in the cell.

example , enter "Color-Test". Then my code will color the string "color" to red and "-Test" to violet.

This is just an example and easy way. You can also create your owm custom cell with your formatting.

Here is code:

private void dataGridView1_CellPainting(object sender, DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)

if (e.FormattedValue != null)

string cellvalue = e.FormattedValue.ToString();

if (cellvalue.Contains("-"))

string redvalue = cellvalue.Split('-')[0];

string yellowvalue = "-" + cellvalue.Split('-')[1];

DataGridViewCell cell = (DataGridViewCell)dataGridView1[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex];

if (cell != null)

e.PaintBackground(e.ClipBounds, true);

e.Paint(e.ClipBounds, DataGridViewPaintParts.Focus);

SizeF redsize = e.Graphics.MeasureString(redvalue, dataGridView1.Font);

Brush redbrush = Brushes.Red;

Brush violetbrush = Brushes.Violet;

e.Graphics.DrawString(redvalue, dataGridView1.Font, redbrush, new PointF(e.CellBounds.X, e.CellBounds.Y));

e.Graphics.DrawString(yellowvalue, dataGridView1.Font, violetbrush, new PointF(e.CellBounds.X + redsize.Width + 1, e.CellBounds.Y));

e.Handled = true;

*Don't forget to attach cell_painting to your datagridview.
