  I have an application that makes extensive use of Flex Grids. On several grids, I am showing a “notes” field than contains RTF formatted text - such as bold, etc. I am trying to sort out how to have the Flex Grid display the RTF formatted values instead of the raw text containing the RTF formatting codes. Any suggestions?

  Thanks,

  Mike

  Hello Mike,

  We have a product sample ‘RTFGrid’ that demonstrates how to show RTF formatted text in grid cells.
  
  The sample uses a class ‘RTF’ (inherited from standard RichTextBox) for rendering RTF text through OwnerDrawCell event. Also, it can be set an editor for any specific column(s).
  
  
  
  Therefore, I’d suggest you to refer the sample (installed at default ComponentOne location ‘…\Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\C1FlexGrid\CS’) to meet your requirement.
  
  Let me know, if you face any issues or have any further requirements.

  Thanks,
  
  Ruchir

  When i set Flexgrid.AllowFilterung to true, the filter criteria is the code in rtf "{\rtf 1" and not the plain text. is there any solution in progress?
  
  Thanks

  Hi,

  The RTFGrid sample provided above uses the OwnerDrawCell feature of FlexGrid. It applies custom rendering logic to show the raw RTF text as formatted text.
  
  Similarly, for Filtering, You can implement a custom column filter for the RTF column. Please refer to the sample attached.

  Regards.
