GridControl without headers

[Dan Dorey]

I'm using SyncFusion 5.1.0.51 and VS2005 (.NET 2.0)

I'm using a GridControl and I've removed the column headers. The problem is that the top row doesn't have a border along the top so those cell aren't closed off.

I can't set the border one the whole control since it's docked (full) on the panel behind.

Any thoughts? I can include a screen shot if that isn't clear.

Hi Dan,

There is no built-in support for setting the grid's borders in a GridControl. You could derive the Windows.Panel control and add a grid to it. You could set the Panel''s DockPadding.All = 1 and set the panel''s BackColor to the color you want to see. Also set the BorderStyle on both the grid and panel to none. Below is a code snippet

public class MyGridControl : Panel
{
public GridControl Grid = new GridControl();
public MyGridControl():base()
{
this.DockPadding.All = 1;
this.BackColor = Color.SlateBlue;
this.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;
this.Grid.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Grid.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;
this.Controls.Add(this.Grid);
}
}

If you want to set a row border in a grid , you can try the below code.

this.grid.Model.RowStyles[3].Borders.All = new GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Solid);

Here is a forum thread that discuss with the different technique for drawing the borders in a grid.
