Class-Databinding in XML-Views not working

[sirion]

"class" is not a property of the control, thus it cannot be used in databinding.

Usually you do not want styling information in your model as it defeats the purpose of the MVC pattern.

One workaround for your exact behavior would be to extend the used control and add a property that you can render any way you want in your own renderer,
What problem do you want to solve here? There are usually better ways.

Status is semantic information, so this definitely belongs in the model.

Here is an example of one way you could solve this: http://jsbin.com/sefiw/5/edit?html,output

Thanks for the fast response.
In my case, the model contains only a field named "status". For each status we wanna set custom styles (font-size, font-color and background color of the cell).
So I thought, that the simplest way would be to create a css class with the name of the status and just bind them to the cell.
So what's your recommended way to implement this?

Best regards,
Martin

Using factory function could also be another approach for the list.
