Highlight whole grid border

[Administrator]

Hi,

I would like to highlight (say by a particular color) the grid border of a databoundgrid upon selection of a particular cell or cliclking on the cell.

Any property or way to acheive this?

Thanks,

Hi Dheeraj,

Please refer to the below forum thread for changing the selected row border in a grid.

If you want to change the border color of the grid, you can use the Paint event and draw border using DrawRectangle method. Here is a code snippet to show this.

private void gridControl1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
GridControl grid = sender as GridControl;
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(new Point(0,0),grid.Bounds.Size);
rect.Inflate(-1,-1);
Pen pen = new Pen(Brushes.RoyalBlue,2);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen,rect);
}

Hi Haneef,

Thanks for the Paint event code, only thing is I need to paint the border only when clilking on the grid control. How do I call this event method from the Clik event?

Thanks,

Hi Dheeraj,

Use this code to refresh the grid.

this.gridControl1.Invalidate();
