DataGridView column styles?

[retkehing]

How to change a font size, font color of single column as well as the alignment of the column title? Thank you

Set these and other styles:

DataGridView1.Columns(0).DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Indigo
 
DataGridView1.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = False
DataGridView1.Columns(0).HeaderCell.Style.ForeColor = Color.Blue

"DataGridView1.Columns(0).DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White" doesn't change the column cell color. May i know why? What about the alignment for both the column title and the cell? Thank you.

ForeColor set the text color. You can set all the other Style(s) for the HeaderCell too, ForeColor isn't the only style that is possibel set. Use the intellisense/help docs to browse.

Try This

'Align the header & cell of the DataGridView
.Columns(0).DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight
.Columns(0).HeaderCell.Style.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight

Best wishes!

DataGridView1.Columns(0).DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Indigo doesn't change the font color, i think the reason is because it is a LinkColumn, i have tried the same for TextBoxColumn and it worked well. May i know how to set the color for LinkColumn? Thank you.

Dim dgvLC As DataGridViewLinkColumn = DataGridView1.Columns(0)
dgvLC.LinkColor = Color.GreenYellow

I tried the following to change the fontstyle of a particular column but it didn't work. Thank you.

[SIZE=2]Column.DefaultCellStyle.Font.Style = FontStyle.Bold
[/SIZE]

Most properties of Font object is readonly, you have to create a new Font instance and assign this to DefaultCellStyle.Font.

Dim originalfont As Font = DataGridView1.Font
Dim newfont As New Font(originalfont, originalfont.Style Or FontStyle.Bold)
DataGridView1.Columns(0).DefaultCellStyle.Font = newfont
