RowStyles behaviour

[Richard Bysouth]

Hi

In my attached sample I would like the rowstyle (background colour etc.) to be applied to the entire row (including column 0). I have tried many variations of setting Cols.HeaderCount / Properties.RowHeaders however cannot find a solution.
I don't think that I need any row headers, hence have set Cols.HeaderCount = -1. I do need frozen columns though.
What am I missing here?

thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

You can change the style setting of the cell using the PrepareViewStyleInfo event of the grid. Below is a code snippet

Private Sub GridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs) Handles GridControl1.PrepareViewStyleInfo

If (e.ColIndex = 0) Then
e.Style.BackColor = Me.GridControl1.Model.Item(e.RowIndex, e.ColIndex + 1).BackColor
End If
End Sub

Best regards,
Haneef

Thanks Haneef - that fixes the issue. FYI the code I used was slightly different as I needed the whole style:

Private Sub GridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs) Handles GridControl1.PrepareViewStyleInfo

If (e.ColIndex = 0) AndAlso Me.GridControl1.RowStyles(e.RowIndex).IsEmpty = False Then
'copy style from the row to cells in column 0.
e.Style.CopyFrom(Me.GridControl1.RowStyles(e.RowIndex))
End If

End Sub

Actually I've found a problem with this - for some reason if I use Style.CopyFrom, the text is not displayed. If I set the style properties individually (BackColor, Borders etc.), it displays fine.
Any ideas why this wouldn't work?
