Plus/Minus buttons in GridGroupingControl

[Administrator]

I''ve got a GridGroupingControl with subtables. There''s obviously the +/- button to the right. I want to replace the images that button uses with triangles (to the left and down for the open and close states). How can I do this?

(I''m sure I''m missing something obviously, but I didn''t see the correct options in the RecordPlusMinusCell appearance).

Thank you.

Hi Dan,

check out the CustomCellTypes example. That shows how to register a custom cell type.

The +/- button is just a Pushbutton - see this:

GridTableCellAppearance.Default.GroupCaptionPlusMinusCell.CellType = "PushButton";
GridTableCellAppearance.Default.RecordPlusMinusCell.CellType = "PushButton";

If you create your own cell type you can derive it from Pushbutton and override its Draw method and draw your image there (check out also Grid.Windows\Samples\In Depth\CellButtons for drawing icons/images in a cell).

Once you have the cutom cell type assign it to GridGroupingControl.Appearance.RecordPlusMinusCell.CellType and GridGroupingControl.Appearance.GroupCaptionPlusMinusCell.CellType

Thank you. I had to change it to "RecordPlusMinusCell" from GroupCaptionPlusMinusCell, but otherwise perfect.
