Question

In my aspxgrid i have created all columns dynamically, so i have a cell contains three status in three lines.e.g.

Item Status    Date
               1st 2nd . .... ...
     Booked     2   4  5 1 2 4........
 1   Available  1   1  1 1 1 1........
     Not Avail  0   0  0 0 0 0........

so these cell are for 1 row . I have used customcolumndisplaytext event to do so. Now i want to give different color for three status rows. Can u guys help me with it please ? I need to do this ,there are several items and for each item i have three status.
Is there any different approach to do so please enlighten me.

Thanks,

You should use GridViewDataColumn.DataItemTemplate combined with simple html elements and to achieve this. Also, take a look at DataItemTemplate demo.

For simpler solution, set e.DisplayText in CustomColumnDisplayText to html.

Here is example of CustomColumnDisplayText event handler that alternates word colors inside cell:

protected void ASPxGridView1_CustomColumnDisplayText(object sender, ASPxGridViewColumnDisplayTextEventArgs e)
{
    if ("job_desc".Equals(e.Column.FieldName))
    {
        e.DisplayText = "";
        string[] tokens = ((string)e.Value).Split(' ');
        for (int i = 0; i < tokens.Length; i++)
        {
            if (i % 2 == 0)
            {
                e.DisplayText += "<span style='color:red'>" + tokens[i] + @"</span>";
            }
            else
            {
                e.DisplayText += "<span  style='color:blue'>" + tokens[i] + @"</span>";
            }
            e.DisplayText += " ";
        }
    }
}
