I have replaced TcxVerticalGrid with TcxGridLayoutView in my new application. It looks better and has more advanced options of customization, but i used to mark captions of some vertical grid rows (for example those for required fields) by different style. In LayoutItem i can only set style of content but not of header.
Can you please add a possibility to set a style of LayoutItem header/caption? It would be very useful in my application.

Hello Jaroslav,
You can set the <ALayoutView>.Styles.Item property to the TcxStyle object to apply a style to LayoutItems' headers.
Attached is an example that demonstrates this approach in action. I hope this will help you achieve the required functionality.
Hello Jaroslav,
Thank you for the clarification. In this case, you can use the LayoutView.Styles.OnGetItemStyle event to apply your styles to required Items. For example:
Delphiprocedure <AForm>.<ALayoutView>StylesGetItemStyle(Sender: TcxCustomGridTableView; ARecord: TcxCustomGridRecord; AItem: TcxCustomGridTableItem; out AStyle: TcxStyle);
begin
if AItem <> nil then
begin
if (AItem = <AColumn>) then
AStyle := <AcxStyle>
else
AStyle := <BcxStyle>;
end;
end;
I hope that this information helps.
Thank you for the response,
i've tried solution you've recommended and it works but unfotunately just particularly. New style is dynamically assigned in but only it's "TextColor" property is really used as item's header style. It's font properties stays the same. Is this a bug?
Attaching a sample project.
Hello Jaroslav,
This behavior is by design. You can set only common font settings for all LayoutView Items. However, to accomplish your task, you can try to use the LayoutView.OnCustomDrawCell event handler. This approach was described in the Q333867: How to change default row captions's color of the grid layout view ? ticket. Please take a look at it.
