Hi Lokesh,

The GridStaticCellModel.AllowFloating will specify the celltype supports being floated or flooded. Here is the code snippet which, explains how to set the property.

// In Form_Load event
GridStaticCellModel ds = new GridStaticCellModel(this.gridControl1.Model);
ds.AllowFloating = true;
this.gridControl1.CellModels.Add("Floating" ,ds);
this.gridControl1.FloatCellsMode = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridFloatCellsMode.BeforeDisplayCalculation; // to specify the floating cells behaviour are to be calculated before the cells are displayed

private void gridControl1_QueryCellInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
if(e.ColIndex == 1 && e.RowIndex ==1)
{
e.Style.CellValue = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
e.Style.CellType = "Floating";
e.Style.FloatCell = true;
}
}

Let us know if you any further information.

Best regards,
Madhan.

Hi Lokesh,

Floating is the process by which the contents of one cell floats over to an adjacent cell but, the adjacent cell has to be empty.

Also refer to the Syncfusion documentation ( // EssentialGrid / Windows forms / Basic Concepts / Floating Cells ) for more details on this issue.

For a sample refer to the browser sample ( \\windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\Quick Start\FloatingCells )
