I am loading my data into the datasource property of the grid from a binding source during the form load.  As the rows load into the grid, I would like to test a certain column in each row being loaded and depending on the value in that column set the background color of the row to a different color ex. red, green or yellow.  This must be a simple matter because I could do it in previous versions of TrueGrid in vb 6.

Thank you very much your advice really helped.  I am using Flexgrid. The colors are displaying properly in the proper rows but when I click a row underneath another it takes on that color of the previous row until I move off that row.

example.

Row 1 = Green

Row 2 = White

When I click on row 2 it turns green and when I click on row 3 then row 2 turns back to white.

Here is my code

e.Style.BackColor = Color.White;

e.Style.BackColor = Color.Yellow;

It's almost like it's a row behind me in the count.

Here is my code

if (EventsGrid.DataSource != null && e.Row < EventsGrid.Rows.Count - 1 && e.Row != 0)

{

if (Int32.Parse(EventsGrid[e.Row, "RowColorID"].ToString()) == 0)

{

e.Style.BackColor = Color.White;

e.Style.ForeColor = Color.Black;

}

else if (Int32.Parse(EventsGrid[e.Row, "RowColorID"].ToString()) == 32768)

{

e.Style.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;e.Style.ForeColor = Color.Black;

}

else if (Int32.Parse(EventsGrid[e.Row, "RowColorID"].ToString()) == 65535)

{

e.Style.BackColor = Color.Yellow;

e.Style.ForeColor = Color.Black;

}

}

}

The problem is not that it doesn't work, it works fine.  It paints all the rows correctly to start with.  Everything looks fine.

here is a sample

row 1 white

row 2 white

row 3 green

row 4 white

when you click on row 4 which is supposed to be white it changes to green because row 3 is green.  When you click on any other row, then row 3 changes back to white which is the correct color.  If I click on row 2 nothing changes because row 1 is white and so is row 2.  It only occurs to clicking a row that follows another row.  The newly clicked row always takes on the color of the row above it.  So the original paint is correct, it's the repainting as you click through the rows that is off.
