Row / Column Totals

I am adding row/column totals to a regular grid using the below text. Is there a better way to *shade* them? The reason why I ask is I will later need to wipe out the entire grid, and recreate row/column totals - which could very well be a completely different row/column. I need a way to remove the shading (currently using a style) on the current *last* row/column, redraw the entire grid, then re-apply the shading to the *new* last row/column. Suggestions? Here''s the current code for shading - though I haven''t begun the code to unshade the current row/column, only to apply that shading to the new last row/column: // 5. Add Column Totals if (HAS_COL_TOTAL) { gridControlConfMatrix[0,cols].Text = "Totals"; // gridControlConfMatrix.ColStyles[cols].CellType = "Header"; // gridControlConfMatrix.ColStyles[cols].BaseStyle = "Heading"; // gridControlConfMatrix.ColStyles[cols].Font.Bold = true; gridControlConfMatrix.ColStyles[cols].BaseStyle = "Row Header"; for (int i = 0; i < this.numRows; i++) { int nColTotal = 0; for (int j = 0; j < this.numCols; j++) nColTotal += this.intArray[i+1,j+1]; gridControlConfMatrix[i+1,cols].CellValue = nColTotal; // gridControlConfMatrix[i+1,cols].BackColor = Color.FromArgb(208,208,208); } } // 6. Add Row Totals if (HAS_ROW_TOTAL) { gridControlConfMatrix[rows,0].Text = "Totals"; // gridControlConfMatrix.RowStyles[rows].CellType = "Header"; // gridControlConfMatrix.RowStyles[rows].BaseStyle = "Heading"; // gridControlConfMatrix.RowStyles[rows].Font.Bold = true; gridControlConfMatrix.RowStyles[rows].BaseStyle = "Column Header"; for (int i = 0; i < this.numCols; i++) { int nRowTotal = 0; for (int j = 0; j < this.numRows; j++) nRowTotal += this.intArray[j+1,i+1]; gridControlConfMatrix[rows,i+1].CellValue = nRowTotal; // gridControlConfMatrix[rows,i+1].BackColor = Color.FromArgb(208,208,208); } }

BTW, I''m still trying to find the best way to force the row/column total NOT have a gradient shading pattern, as the row/column borders do (at least on my machine).

To set the last row/column to be a special color (no matter where the last row/column is), you can use the PrepareViewStyleInfo event.

private void gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.RowIndex == this.gridControl1.RowCount && e.ColIndex > 0)
	{
		e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
                e.Style.CellType = "Static";
	}
	else if(e.ColIndex == this.gridControl1.ColCount && e.RowIndex > 0)
	{
		e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
                e.Style.CellType = "Static";
	}
}

The reason you are getting the gradient colors is because you are setting the CellType to "Header". The above code uses a Static celltype instead.

I''ll give that a shot, but what I''m looking for is to have this last row/column *look* similar to a row/col border. I also need to have the entire row / col selected by clicking the last cell in that row/column - and act as if I''d clicked on the border instead. Possible?

You want the last row and column to look like a header but not have the header shading used by the grid''s default header. If so, try using the static celltype but also try setting e.Style.CellAppearance = GridCellAppearance.Raised; To handle selecting cells when you click a particular cell, try handling the CellClick event. In the handler, call grid.Selections.SelectRange to select th erange you want to select.
