Celltypes in derived Grid

[Pete Davis]

I am creating a grid derived from the GridControl. My client wants me to create a grid control that by default, has the look and feel of their other controls as well as some functionality not currently available the grid controls.

First of all, there''s a specific coloring scheme that''s required as well as a couple of different types of column headers. These I''ve implemented easily through the QueryCellInfo event.

Another need is to not have row headers, by default. What is the best way of handling this? Would it be to simply iterate through all the cells in column 0 and set the cell type?

I guess my question is, is there an event similar to QueryCellInfo that would be better for handling this?

Hi Pete,

you could instead hide the first column by setting the grid.ColWidths[0] = 0; Then the row headers would not be visible at all.

But, if you do want that special column then you could instead handle QueryCellInfo, check for e.ColIndex = 0 and then set e.Style.CellType and other properties you want to change.

Yet another alternative solution would be to change BaseStyles["Row Header"].StyleInfo.
