How to set cell properties from rowselected in gridview Devexpress?

Question

I'm a newbie with devexpress. When I work with gridview in it I have a problem :

private void grdItem_SelectionChanged(object sender, DevExpress.Data.SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        ReceiveController _rc = new ReceiveController();
        DataRow r = null;
        int[] selectedRows = grdItem.GetSelectedRows();
        if (selectedRows.Length != 0)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < selectedRows.Length; i++)
            {
                grdItem.GetDataRow(selectedRows[i]);

               // Set cell properties here
            }                
        }
    }

In event selectionchanged a row, i need set a few cells properties in it, may be : bordercolor, allowedit = false, or disable..... But I don't know how I can do ?

You cannot set appearance properties for a specific cell like that. The GridControl does not maintain an internal collection of rows/columns, so it's not as easy as just saying Grid.Rows[3].Cells[2].BackColor = Color.Blue;.

Instead, you need to handle one of the GridView's drawing events; in this case, it would seem that the RowCellStyle event would be the best choice.

Typically, within the RowCellStyle event handler you will check to see if the current cell meets a specific condition based on a rule. If so, you can then apply formatting to that cell.
