Posted on by 175

I am trying to change background color of a column in my grid but whole row is being highlighted. 
I have grid in which i placed a group that contains all my fields to be displayed on grid. I tried using 


_options.affectedElementsByField(fieldNum(TableName, ColumnName));

but after using it all styling is being cleared. 

I have the same question (0)

    Sorry for being late.
    The following steps lead to the solution
    1- Change Auto Declaration property of my grid column to Yes

    2- Override the DisplayOption method of datasource

    3- then use _options.affectedElementsByControl(columnName.id()) , it will only apply the changes on desired cell

    P.S. columnName is the column that`s Auto Declaration property is turned to Yes
