How to convert ColIndex into a column name for a GridControl?

[John H]

Hi,
I have asked this question before for the GGC, but now I need to do it for a GridControl within the PrepareViewStyleInfo event. Do you have any examples? I cant find a TableDescriptor for the GridControl.

Thanks

Actually to be more specific, how do I convert the RowIndex and ColIndex within the PrepareViewStyleInfo event of a GridControl to the actual row and column indexes of the underlying dataset?

Thanks

Hi John,

For GridControl:

Call the GetAlphaLabel method to get the column labels in a grid. Here is a code snippet

string strColumnName = GridRangeInfo.GetAlphaLabel(e.ColIndex);

For DataBoundGrid:

Use InternalColumn collection property to get the column name of the grid. Below is a code

string strColumnName = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[e.ColIndex].MappingName;

Best Regards,

Hi Haneef,

Sorry Im not sure how this works:
GridRangeInfo.GetAlphaLabel(e.ColIndex);

Is GridRangeInfo a property of the grid? do I need to get the current selection and create a GridRangeInfo for it?
Sorry I think Im being a bit dim today.

Thanks

Hi Haneef,
I found an example, its quite obvious really. :-)

Basically just use;
gridControl[0, e.ColIndex].Text;

Thanks
