[RESOLVED] [2005] Highlight row in gridview depending on a cell's value

[Besoup]

Hey, Just trying to loop through my gridview and change the color of the row if the first cell equals a given value. This is the code I am trying but does not work.

With gvItemList
            For i = 1 To .Rows.Count - 1
                If .Rows(i).Cells.Item(0).ToString = stValue Then
                    .Rows(i).BackColor = Drawing.Color.CadetBlue
                End If
            Next
        End With

thanks in advanced!

Hi,

I think you can try something like this:

Dim row as DataGridView
Dim genderCell as DataGridViewCell
Dim nameCell as DataGridViewCell

for each row in DataGridView1
    genderCell = row.Cells[2] 'gender column
    nameCell = row.Cells[0] 'name cell
    if CType(gender.Cell.Value, String) = "M" then
        nameCell.Style.BackColor = Color.Blue
    else
        nameCell.Style.BackColor = Color.Pink
    end if
next

Hope it helps,

Thanks for the effort... got it with this code:

Dim i As Integer
        With gvItemList
            For i = 0 To .Rows.Count - 1
                If .Rows(i).Cells(0).Text = stValue Then
                    .Rows(i).BackColor = Drawing.Color.CadetBlue
                End If
            Next

Can anyone tell me what gvItemList might be?

[Besoup]

that is a GridView.

Well using this code:

Dim stValue As String
        Dim i As Integer
 
        With DataGridView1
 
            For i = 0 To .Rows.Count - 1
 
                If .Rows(i).Cells(0).Text = stValue Then
 
                    .Rows(i).BackColor = Drawing.Color.CadetBlue
 
                End If
 
            Next
 
        End With

I'm getting


Error 111 'BackColor' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRow'.

AND

Error 110 'Text' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCell'.

looks like you're using vs2003... DataGridView is the earlier version of the Gridview control which is probably why those properties aren't being recognized.

I don't have alot of experience with the older version maybe someone else could help you in this post or you could try making a new one.

Hm..I'm using 2005, maybe I just have the wrong thing :S
