How to get column index on click of column header

[Administrator]

Hi,

Which event will give me the column index of the column when mouse button is clicked on column header.

Thanks

Hi,

You can handle the MouseDown event of the grid and call the PointToRowCol method to detect the RowIndex and ColIndex of the cell in a Grid. Here is a code snipet

void gridDataBoundGrid1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
int row, col;
GridDataBoundGrid grid = sender as GridDataBoundGrid;
if (grid.PointToRowCol(new Point(e.X,e.Y), out row, out col))
{
if (grid.Model[row,col].CellType == "ColumnHeaderCell")
{
MessageBox.Show(string.Format( "Column Header Index is {0}", col));
}
}
}

Best regards,
Haneef

Hi Rohit, 

 

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products. 

 

Yes, the BackColor for selected column can be updated using the CellClick event. Please make use of the below code example. 

 

Code example 

 

//Event subscription 

gridControl1.CellClick += GridControl1_CellClick; 

 

//Event customization. 

private void GridControl1_CellClick(object sender, GridCellClickEventArgs e) 

{ 

   if(e.RowIndex == 0) 

    { 

        gridControl1.ColStyles[e.ColIndex].BackColor = Color.Red; 

} 

}
