vb.net code does not work with e.Row.Attributes.Add

 e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'")
            e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle2=this.style.foreColor;this.style.foreColor='#00000'")
            e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor=this.originalstyle;")
            e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.foreColor=this.originalstyle2;")

Open in new window

any idea why this code cancels each other out?

Nasir Razzaq

You have two lines for onmouseout. Is that intentional?

well i wont both background colour and forground colour to chnage back to original state on mouseout

Nasir Razzaq

Try using

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF;this.originalstyle2=this.style.foreColor;this.style.foreColor='#00000;'")
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor=this.originalstyle;this.style.foreColor=this.originalstyle2;")

basically if i just run the background oart it works but when i add the forcolour it won't work for either forecolor or background

Nasir Razzaq

If you comment out backcolor, does it work for forecolor?

thats a no lol... so what would it be to chnage text colour to black?

Ok the error lies here:

If e.Row.DataItem("important") = 1 Then
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='Chocolate'; this.style.color='pink'; this.style.cursor='pointer';")
e.Row.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#004466")
e.Row.Cells(1).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
e.Row.Cells(2).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
e.Row.Cells(4).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
e.Row.Cells(6).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White

End If

it always sets the colour as white!

Nasir Razzaq

Is that code from one of the links? Because its different to what you showed earlier.

Member_2_5230414

no i relised i set the color if the important = 1 to this

e.Row.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#004466")
                e.Row.Cells(1).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
                e.Row.Cells(2).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
                e.Row.Cells(4).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
                e.Row.Cells(6).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White

Open in new window

but this seems to override the text colour (gained from the links)

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='Chocolate'; this.style.color='pink'; this.style.cursor='pointer';")

Nasir Razzaq

So
>e.Row.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#004466")

is overriding
>e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='Chocolate'; this.style.color='pink'; this.style.cursor='pointer';")

???

no that one isnt but

e.Row.Cells(1).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
e.Row.Cells(2).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
e.Row.Cells(4).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White
e.Row.Cells(6).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.White

is overriding
this.style.color='pink'

i think its because i have set the colour to the cells itself?

Member_2_5230414

ASKER

Ok i think i know what to do

e.Row.Cells(1).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

e.Row.Cells(2).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

e.Row.Cells(4).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

e.Row.Cells(6).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

but can i add all the cells together in 1 row?

Nasir Razzaq

>but can i add all the cells together in 1 row?
You mean without borders around cell?

Member_2_5230414

sorry i mean instead of repeating the code with 1.2.4.6

is there away i can do it like

e.Row.Cells(1)(2)(4)(6).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

Nasir Razzaq

No you can do that. You can use a loop though

For I as integer = 0 to e.Row.Cells.Count - 1
e.Row.Cells(I).Attributes.Add(...)
Next

ok just wanted to check i was not going the long way around it

 e.Row.Cells(1).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

                e.Row.Cells(2).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

                e.Row.Cells(4).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

                e.Row.Cells(6).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; this.style.color='black';")

Open in new window

I am using the above code but it only seems to work for cell 1.

the background colour changes for them all but only the this.style.color='black' works for cell 1 ??

Member_2_5230414

ASKER

infact the background only works for cell 1 also!

Nasir Razzaq

>this.originalstyle=this.style.backgroundColor

Should the above not be

this.originalstyle.backgroundcolor=this.style.backgroundColor
