Man I guess you paid google : every time I search anything regarding ADG you blog pops up. :-) Thanks for taking time to share that with us. As I found all your examples are addressing the whole row, I needed something for individual cells. I tried to work with your code and put the itemrenderer in ADGColumn but did not work accordingly. My requirement is very simple: all my ADGColumn will have the same itemrenderer and if the Column source has a nonempty string it will put the background color else leave it as is. Regards....

Also, AdvancedDataGrid supports a style function, that you can use from outside the ADG to set styles.
