image in cell

How to put an image into column header ?

[Administrator]

For a GridControl, you can set the celltype to be static and then set teh ImageList and ImageIndex properties on teh style to display an image.

 Me.gridControl1(0, 2).ImageList = imageList
 Me.gridControl1(0, 2).ImageIndex = 1
 Me.gridControl1(0, 2).CellType = "Static"

//the header shows the image in column 2.

For a GridDataBoundGrid, you would need to handle PrepareViewStyleInfo, and depending upon the passed in e.ColIndex and e.RowIndex (should be zero). then set e.StyleInfo.CellType = "Static", and also set the ImageList and ImageIndex in the event handler as well.

Can I do it somehow without imagelist?
Just to call an image?

[Administrator]

You can try using a Image celltype.

this.grid[2, 1].CellValue = someImage;
this.grid[2,1].CellType = "Image";

Can you give me some example with preparestyleinfo and ColIndx?

When i put an image on header I get a black background. Why?

My image is transparent...

[Administrator]

You can try setting this property to see if it helps.

this.gridControl1.SupportsTransparentBackColor = true;

If not, you can add your transparent bitmap to the sample above, and upload it here, and we can try to get it working.

It''s not working!
I still have a black background!

Here is a sample showing a bitmap in a cell with a transparent color.

If you upload a sample showing your problem, we can try to spot the problem here.

Here is the code that I use and a picture with result in grid. image_8517.zip

Where have you get this code?

e.Style.CellType = "Icon";

I do not know what an "Icon" celltype is? Did you register a custom cellmodel a CellType named "Icon"?

Have you tried your bitmap in the sample I attached above (swapping the Blue our for your transparent color)?

[Hrvoje Voda]

Yes but it doesn''t work. My image is transparent.
But, when I put "Icon" under CellType I get an image without that black background. The problem is that I can''t put it in center.

[Administrator]

Did you define an "Icon" celltype? If not, then setting CellType = "Icon" is the same as setting CellType = "Static" because the grid does not know any cell type name Icon so it defaults to a Static celltype.

Please attach a sample project that I can run to see your problem. If you do this, I will try suggest a solution.

[Hrvoje Voda]

I solved a problem with your example.
Some parameters that I use were not correct.
