Important
To format grid cells based on specific conditions, use Conditional Formatting to gain better performance. Refer to the following topic for more information - How to Conditionally Set Background and Foreground for Grid Rows and Cells.
The CellStyle property specifies a theme-independent style applied to cells within the current column. To specify a cell style for all columns, use the DataViewBase.CellStyle property. When both these properties are set, ColumnBase.CellStyle has higher priority.
To specify the styles applied to the column’s data cell displayed within the New Item Row and Automatic Filter Row, use the ColumnBase.NewItemRowCellStyle and ColumnBase.AutoFilterRowCellStyle properties.
In optimized mode (the default setting), set TargetType to LightweightCellEditor.
<dxg:GridColumn>
<dxg:GridColumn.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="dxg:LightweightCellEditor" />
</dxg:GridColumn.CellStyle>
</dxg:GridColumn>
...
<dxg:TableView>
<dxg:TableView.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="dxg:LightweightCellEditor" />
</dxg:TableView.CellStyle>
</dxg:TableView>
If you disable the optimized mode, set TargetType to CellContentPresenter.
<dxg:GridColumn>
<dxg:GridColumn.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="dxg:CellContentPresenter" />
</dxg:GridColumn.CellStyle>
</dxg:GridColumn>
...
<dxg:TableView>
<dxg:TableView.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="dxg:CellContentPresenter" />
</dxg:TableView.CellStyle>
</dxg:TableView>
Cell elements contain EditGridCellData objects in their DataContext.
Use the following binding paths to access cell values, columns, and ViewModel properties:
Value - access the current cell value;Column - access the current column;RowData.Row.[YourPropertyName] - access a property of an object from the ItemsSource collection;Data.[FieldName] - access column values in Server Mode or if you use the RealTimeSource, access unbound column values;View.DataContext.[YourPropertyName] - access a property in a grid’s ViewModel.View Example: Build Binding Paths in WPF Data Grid Cells
The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the CellStyle property.
