Find Filed for ColIndex, when having multi-row records

[Jeck]

I was using ColIndexToField before in my code that determines the field under the current cell.
Now I started using LayoutColumns method to make a long record span several lines.
ColIndexToField is no use anymore, because it does not take RowIndex as a parameter, and thus cannot give me the proper Field name.

Please advice, how do I figure out the Field name from an event, such as CurrentCellValidated or QueryCellInfo, when the only thing that is available to me is RowIndex and ColIndex.

Thanks.

Hi Jeck,

I think the following code should do it:

GridBoundRecordState state = binder.GetRecordStateAtRowIndex(e.RowIndex);
GridHierarchyLevel level = binder.GetHierarchyLevel(state.LevelIndex);
fieldNum = level.RowFieldToField(state.row, fieldNum);
GridBoundColumnsCollection columns = level.InternalColumns;
if (fieldNum >= 0 && fieldNum < columns.Count)
{
	GridBoundColumn columnStyle = columns[fieldNum];
}

Thanks! Works great!

I think this is a nice topic for Knowledge Base. Few other people at our company were puzzled too.
