In Code

1. Declare a new font variable:

Dim fntFont As Font

· C#

Font fntFont;

Var fntFont: Font;

2. Set the desired column's font to the new font variable:

fntFont = New Font("Times New Roman", Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.Splits(0).DisplayColumns.Item("Country").Style.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold)

Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.Splits(0).DisplayColumns.Item("Country").Style.Font = fntFont

· C#

fntFont = new Font("Times New Roman", this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Splits[0].DisplayColumns["Country"].Style.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold);

this.c1TrueDBGrid1.Splits[0].DisplayColumns["Country"].Style.Font = fntFont;

fntFont := Font.Create(‘Times New Roman’, Self.C1TrueDBGrid1.Splits[0].DisplayColumns[‘Country’].Style.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold);

Self.C1TrueDBGrid1.Splits[0].DisplayColumns[‘Country’].Style.Font := fntFont;

In this example, the rows of the Country column are now Times New Roman font and bold.
