How to highlight a row without realtime highlighting

I would like to be able to programmatically highlight a row or cell, but not have the default realtime highlighting enabled. In other words, I would like to specify when the highlighting occurs, not just when the value of a cell is updated. Is this possible?

I'm using a dataset as my data source.

  I see that I can set the default highlighting color to Transparent and then programmatically set the color to whatever I want as a work-around, but would this negatively affect performance with a grid that updates a lot? I won't be setting the highlighting of a row too often.

  Hi Cory,

  This question has already been asked by one of our clients: http://support.dapfor.com/entries/20368692. But you are right, programmatic and automatic highlighting should not depend on each other. In the new version of the grid the Grid.Highlighting.Enabled property will not prevent from programmatic highlighting. I.e you could disable highlighting from INotifyPropertyChanged interface but still use the Cell.Highlight() method.

  Grid contains a large number of optimizations. What is about cell highlighting, grid is designed for maximum productivity. In particular, highlighting in the invisible region consumes almost no resources. It is also a frequent cell updating turn on internal optimization algorithms. We know very well the domain of application of our product and we can assure you that the grid will not lose its performance. Just turn off the fading effect.

  Hello,

  I am currently using the Dapfor gird version v.2.8.0.47743. I added  grid highlight function in grid_rowAdded as follow -

  
                  gridRow[strColumn].Highlight(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(30000), Color.GreenYellow,Color.Navy);

   

  My requirement is to blink cell color in a certain time when new record is added. How do I achieve gird cell color to blink ?

  Your help would be greatly appericated.

  Hello,

  It's quite easy:

  grid.RowAdded += delegate(object sender, GridRowEventArgs e)
  {
      e.Row[strColumn].Highlight(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(30000), Color.GreenYellow, Color.Navy);
  };

  Best regards,

  This highlighted the cell with GreenYellow for the given time.

  Can I get that cell to show blinking highlight color for certain time when new row is added. Can I achieve in my currently using version( v.2.8.0.47743 )?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi,

  Yes, you can. This is a basic feature of the .Net Grid.
