Hi,

Is it possible to change the color or the background of grand summaries for Labor Transactions grid in Job Tracker?

I was able to only change the color for the header, but not the summaries.

Jose,

I tried that as well but the grdLaborTransactions does not initialize...

What else am I missing?

Thanks,
Johnny

I believe you have to call the native control.

EpiUltraGrid grid = (EpiUltraGrid)csm.GetNativeControlReference("EpiGuid here");

ALl Grids initialize, you just have to get a hold of it and setup the Event for it to trigger

Yeah I did initialize it:

this.grdLaborTransactions = ((EpiUltraGrid)csm.GetNativeControlReference("f45f4532-176c-4a87-8459-4cf95e66fd38")); //init

but I don't group that labor transactions table as it says on that forum.

If I group I get this error: "Specified cast is not valid."

I've managed to get the color changed for the rows and header, but not the summaries.

Thanks guys, I'll keep trying!

I think I got it
```cs
//Declare on Top of the Class
EpiUltraGrid ug;

//Inside Initialize Custom Code
ug = (EpiUltraGrid)csm.GetNativeControlReference("f45f4532-176c-4a87-8459-4cf95e66fd38");
ug.SummaryValueChanged += new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SummaryValueChangedEventHandler(this.ug_SummaryValueChanged);
//

//Inside DestroyCustomCode
ug.SummaryValueChanged -= new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SummaryValueChangedEventHandler(this.ug_SummaryValueChanged);
//


private void ug_SummaryValueChanged(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.SummaryValueChangedEventArgs args)
	{
		// ** Place Event Handling Code Here **
		
		ug.Rows.SummaryValues[0].Appearance.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
	}

```

[quote="josecgomez, post:8, topic:35978"]
ug.Rows.SummaryValues[0].Appearance.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue
[/quote]

@josecgomez How would you color all of the rows that color?
