DataBound Grid and Row Headers

Hello, I would like to use a simple Databound grid with one tweak. FWIW, the grid will be read only (no user updates of grid data) and will use a DataTable as the DataSource. The tweak is that I would like the row headers to behave like column headers. Specifically, I want to: a) eliminate the current row indicator (the arrow head) b) place text in the row header cells, ideally by using column 0 of my DataTable c) preserve the ability to use row header cells to select an entire row (via the usual windows methods, click, ctrl-click, click and drag, etc.) I''ve tried to do this by hiding column 0 of the grid and assigning the column header style to column 1. This handles the text requirement but the row selection is missing. And in order to fix that I have to resort to handling mouse down and mouse move events. I am hopeful there is an easier way to get the results I want. Thank you for any help. -Peter PS - I posted this originally to the ASP version of the forum (had the lonk bookmarked) but saw no replies so I re-posted here. Soory if this causes duplication.

Try hiding column 1 (grid.Model.Cols.Hidden[1] = true;) so it does not show up in the grid. Then handle the PrepareViewStyleInfo vent and set the e.Style for column zero. This should allow the selection behavior to work.

private void gridDataBoundGrid1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.ColIndex == 0 && e.RowIndex > 0)
	{
		e.Style.Text = this.gridDataBoundGrid1[e.RowIndex, 1].Text;
		e.Style.CellType = "Header";
	}
}

Awesome Clay, thanks! Works great. -Peter
