 The Gridview component seems to have just one background colour for all rows in the grid. I'm wondering if it's possible to set a second alternative colour in the grid for a better overview and in order to keep track of the rows? E.g. first row: background white, second row: grey, third row: white, etc.

GridView formatting is quite flexible…

Code (gambas)

  1.   GridView1[1, 2].Background = Color.Pink
  2.   GridView1[2, 2].Border = Border("margin:4;width:4;left-style:none;left-margin:0;left-width:0;top-right-radius:24;color:red")
  3.   GridView1[3, 1].Font.Italic = True
  4.   GridView1[3, 1].Foreground = Color.Blue
  5.

Hi 01McAc, Steve is correct. Run this code in a Graphical Application to see what can be done.

Code (gambas)

  1. Gridview1 As GridView
  2.  
  3. Public Sub Form_Open()
  4.  
  5.   Setupform
  6.   DecorateGridview
  7.  
  9.  
  10. Public Sub DecorateGridview()
  11.  
  12.   Dim iRow, iCol As Integer
  13.  
  14.   For iCol = 0 To Gridview1.Columns.Max
  15.     For iRow = 0 To Gridview1.Rows.Max
  16.       With Gridview1
  17.         .[iRow, iCol].Text = "Hello"
  18.         .[iRow, iCol].Font.Bold = Rand(0, 1)
  19.         .[iRow, iCol].Font.Italic = Rand(0, 1)
  20.         .[iRow, iCol].Font.Size = Rand(8, 15)
  21.         .[iRow, iCol].Alignment = Align.Center
  22.         .[iRow, iCol].Background = Rand(0, 7000000)
  23.         .[iRow, iCol].Foreground = Rand(9000000, 16000000)
  24.         .[iRow, iCol].Border = Border("margin:1;width:1;left-style:none;left-margin:0;left-width:0;top-right-radius:5;color:red")
  25.       End With
  26.     Next
  27.   Next
  28.  
  29.   Gridview1.Columns.Width = -1
  30.  
  32.  
  33. Public Sub Setupform()
  34.  
  35.   With Me
  36.     .Height = 387
  37.     .Width = 500
  38.     .Arrangement = Arrange.Vertical
  39.     .Padding = 5
  41.  
  42.   With Gridview1 = New GridView(Me)
  43.     .Expand = True
  44.     .Columns.Count = 8
  45.     .Rows.Count = 17
  47.

Thanks. The code works very well- but odd somehow as it doesn't work with any colour. I did try all the time with the wrong colours. Perhaps it is related with the dark mode settings on my desktop.
In any case it is not that colourful like your grid!

If you.post your code we could see if it's your code or not.

Your theme should make no difference.
Other configs might.
Like if using gtk or qt or some less advanced desktops using an old gambas.  Various things.
Post your failing code here.

Will do next time. I deleted already the failing code. I noticed btw that the gridview component is extremely fast when data are populated into the grid.

Well the code Cogier posted should work okay for you and show all you need to know about setting individual colours of your choice to each cell.

GridView is my favourite lister , If i need any sort of list in my apps i usually go for a GridView :)
