Customise Printing of cell borders between StackedHeaderRow and a ChildColumn of SfDataGrid

[Adrian]

When Printing the SfDataGrid, is it possible to remove cell borders from between a StackedHeaderRow  and the ChildColumn directly below it so that when you have only one ChildColumn there is only a perimeter border around the combined StackedHeaderRow  and its ChildColumn?

In XAML, the StackedHeaderRow  border would be "1,1,1,0" (no bottom border) and the ChildColumn would be "1,0,1,1" (no top border).

Thanks.

Hi Adrian, 

You can remove the bottom border of StackedHeaderRow by customize the OnRenderRow method in GridPrintManager like below code example. 

 

protected override void OnRenderRow(DrawingContext drawingContext, RowInfo rowInfoList) 

    { 

        var cellsInfo = rowInfoList.CellsInfo; 

        //when we draw the cell for PrintStackedHeader=True we can't able to print it by normal way because the Stacked Header size is varied from one to another. 

        if (rowInfoList.RowType == RowType.StackedHeaderRow  && CanPrintStackedHeaders) 

        { 

            for (int i = 0; i < cellsInfo.Count; i++) 

            { 

                OnRenderCell(drawingContext, rowInfoList, cellsInfo[i]); 

                //Last Cell Right Border 

                if (cellsInfo[i].Equals(cellsInfo[cellsInfo.Count - 1])) 

                    drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellsInfo[i].CellRect.TopRight, cellsInfo[i].CellRect.BottomRight);   //Last cell Right border 

                if (rowInfoList.NeedTopBorder) 

                    //Top border of the page 

                    drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellsInfo[i].CellRect.TopLeft, cellsInfo[i].CellRect.TopRight); 

                if (rowInfoList.NeedBottomBorder) 

                    if (rowInfoList.CellsInfo[0].CellRect.Height > 0) 

                        //Row Bottom Border 

                        drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellsInfo[i].CellRect.BottomLeft, cellsInfo[i].CellRect.BottomRight); 

            } 

        } 

        else if (rowInfoList.RowType == RowType.HeaderRow) 

        { 

            for (int i = 0; i < cellsInfo.Count; i++) 

            { 

                OnRenderCell(drawingContext, rowInfoList, cellsInfo[i]); 

                //Last Cell Right Border 

                if (cellsInfo[i].Equals(cellsInfo[cellsInfo.Count - 1])) 

                    drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellsInfo[i].CellRect.TopRight, cellsInfo[i].CellRect.BottomRight);   //Last cell Right border 

                if (cellsInfo[i].ColumnName == "CustomerName") 

                    //Top border of the page 

                    drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellsInfo[i].CellRect.TopLeft, cellsInfo[i].CellRect.TopRight); 

                if (rowInfoList.NeedBottomBorder) 

                    if (rowInfoList.CellsInfo[0].CellRect.Height > 0) 

                        //Row Bottom Border 

                        drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellsInfo[i].CellRect.BottomLeft, cellsInfo[i].CellRect.BottomRight); 

            } 

        } 

                  

        else 

        { 

            foreach (var cellInfo in cellsInfo) 

            { 

                OnRenderCell(drawingContext, rowInfoList, cellInfo); 

                //Last Cell Right Border 

                if (cellInfo.Equals(cellsInfo[cellsInfo.Count - 1])) 

                    drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellInfo.CellRect.TopRight, cellsInfo[cellsInfo.Count - 1].CellRect.BottomRight);   //Last cell Right border 

            } 

            if (rowInfoList.NeedTopBorder) 

                //Top border of the page 

                drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellsInfo[0].CellRect.TopLeft, cellsInfo[cellsInfo.Count - 1].CellRect.TopRight); 

            if (rowInfoList.NeedBottomBorder) 

                if (rowInfoList.CellsInfo[0].CellRect.Height > 0) 

                    //Row Bottom Border 

                    drawingContext.DrawLine(new Pen(Brushes.Black, 1), cellsInfo[0].CellRect.BottomLeft, cellsInfo[cellsInfo.Count - 1].CellRect.BottomRight); 

        } 

    } 

}
