Datagrid Header height

[Charles Young]

Gil asked this question and got no response, but I thought I would try my luck...

In a .NET VB WinForm datagrid, I need the headers to be two lines per column. So a header might look like this:
Company
Name

Does anyone know how to change the row height of the header and put two lines in it?

I'm trying a similar technique to the one in the FAQ about row headers.

The header height can be set by changing the HeaderFont size, and then overwrite paint, fill the header with HeaderBackColor and manually draw the two lines of text. That's my plan anyway.

I've managed to do a workaround by putting a vbCrLf where I want the row to end.

I put a vbCrLf just like you have done and the text is divided into two lines. The problem is that the height of the row is not resized so I only see the first line of text. How did you solve this?

Problem solved! I just put the HeaderFont to something big. It didn´t change the size of the text(maybe because I have ColumnStyles) it just changed the rowheight.

Actually I changed the row height by creating a custom table styles then setting the row header height and it work easily.

I'm curious as to where you change the Row Header Height?? Is this a property for the datagrid that I've missed somewhere and wouldn't that change the row height for all the rows?? So far, the only way I've found to get the actual column header height to actually change is with Therese's example
