Remarks

The HtmlDataCellPrepared event is raised for each data cell within the ASPxTreeList when the corresponding table cell has been created. You can handle this event to change the style settings of individual cells.

Note

During export operations, the Tree View control ignores appearance settings specified in the HtmlDataCellPrepared event handler. Refer to the following topic for more information on how to customize exported elements: Export Tree List Data.

The processed cell is identified by the event parameter’s TreeListHtmlDataCellEventArgs.Cell property. Its value is returned by the TreeListHtmlDataCellEventArgs.CellValue property. The column and node where the processed cell resides can be obtained via the TreeListHtmlDataCellEventArgs.Column and TreeListHtmlRowEventArgs.Row properties.
