hi,
iam trying to set color for the columns using

gridinstance.getColumnAt(3).setStyle("backgroundCo lor", 0xFF00AA);

It is not working, any suggestions.

I haven't worked extensively with the datagrid, but I don't know of an easy way to change the background style of a single column.

You can alternate row colors with

gridInstance.setStyle("alternatingRowColors", [0xEEEEEE, 0xFFFFFF]);

And you might be able to do a whole column color by using cellRenderer

gridInstance.getColumnAt(1).cellRenderer = "yourCellRenderer";

The cell renderer lets you do specific stuff like put checkboxes or whatever in the fields in that column. Without digging into it further, I would guess that you can use the CellRenderer API to manipulate the background color.

hi,
Thanks for your suggestion,i will work on it and let you know.

gridInstance.setStyle("alternatingRowColors", [0xEEEEEE, 0xFFFFFF]);

is working.

But not able to fix my problem.

will try to using cell rendering.thaks once again for your suggestion.

Yeah, it would be nice if they had "AlternatingColumnColors" too, eh?

I have seen some custom DataGrid components out there that people have put together that let you do more with individual cell colors and such. You might be able to find a free one of those.

Or think about doing your own customization of the DataGrid component to do what you need. (But that's a fair amount of work, of course).
