HTML-like Text Formatting
Html-like formatting is a feature of Telerik Presentation Framework and therefore it can be also used in RadGridView. The screenshot below demonstrates the color tag applied to RadGridView cells:
Tags are only parsed if DisableHTMLRendering is set to false. If you skip that, all tags will be shown as text. In the code snippet, HTML rendering is only enabled for the first column:
HTML-like text formatting
DataTable t = new DataTable();
t.Columns.Add("A");
t.Rows.Add("<html> ID: <color= 0, 0, 255> 1");
t.Rows.Add("<html> ID: <color= 0, 255, 0> 2");
t.Rows.Add("<html> ID: <color= 255, 0, 0> 3");
this.radGridView1.DataSource = t;
this.radGridView1.Columns[0].DisableHTMLRendering = false;
Dim t As New DataTable()
t.Columns.Add("A")
t.Rows.Add("<html> ID: <color= 0, 0, 255> 1")
t.Rows.Add("<html> ID: <color= 0, 255, 0> 2")
t.Rows.Add("<html> ID: <color= 255, 0, 0> 3")
Me.RadGridView1.DataSource = t
Me.RadGridView1.Columns(0).DisableHTMLRendering = False
