Customizing Extra Section added thru custom engine

[james]

I have add an extra section thru my custom engine ( this.Sections.Add(new ExtraSection(this));). I would like to customize the extra section using something similar to the like this for the GroupCaptionCell...

this.gridGroupingControl1.Appearance.GroupCaptionCell.CellType = "Static";

// set caption and header row height
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.CaptionRowHeight = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.RecordRowHeight;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.ColumnHeaderRowHeight = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.RecordRowHeight;
this.gridGroupingControl1.Appearance.SummaryEmptyCell.HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Center;
this.gridGroupingControl1.Appearance.SummaryEmptyCell.Borders.All = new GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Standard);

but I can't seem to find the type in VS intellisense.

Hi James,

You can handle the QueryCellStyleInfo event to change the Appearance of the ExtraSection cells in a grid. Here is a code snippet to show this.

private void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
Element el = e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement;
if (el is ExtraSection)
{
e.Style.CellType = "Header";
e.Style.Text = "ExtraSectionCell";
e.Style.Font = new GridFontInfo(new Font(e.Style.GdipFont ,FontStyle.Bold));
}
}

Please refer to the attached sample for implementation.
