Alternate Row Color for entire grid

B.
I am able to set the alternate row color using
AlternatingRows DefaultCellStyl e. however, if my grid is not fully
filled, the alternate row color will not apply for blank rows. How can
I fill the blank rows with alternate color as well. Thanks.

You're not mentioning what grid control you're talking about, so obviously
it's hard to give a correct answer. But in any case I would suspect that
unless there's a specific option for the behaviour you want, it's just the
way they implemented it. Most grid controls that I have seen have some form
of custom drawing functionality and you should be able to draw the
alternating colors in the free space yourself. How easy that is would
depend on the quality of the extensibility API provided.

I am trying to understand the differences between and uses of persistent, default and alternate styles. I have read http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/styles.html section 14.3.2 on specifying external style sheets in link using combinations of rel and using or not using the title attribute. I think I sort of understand rel="alternate stylesheet". It seems to be able to act something like the media="print" or media="handheld" or...

Searching the net I've found a simple technique to add row numbers and alternate colors (for the even and the uneven row) to a continuous form. 1st step: Create a textbox, send it to background and select the first color. .ControlSouce =fRowNum(False) .Name = RowNum 2nd step: Add the following function to the form module: (for row numbers) Public Function fRowNum(Reset As Boolean) As Long Static I As Integer

Ok. I haven't been around for a while, so I hope someone will come to my rescue. I thought I had done this years ago, but I have scoured my code snippets and can't find it. I want my ListView control to have a different background colour on alternate rows. I'm using VS2005. Firstly, I'm surprised that I can't do it out of the box. But secondly, I can't find a really simple one-liner that let's me do it by overriding something.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
