How do I customise how the row headings are rendered on a GridControl

[Andrew Ormerod]

Hi,

We currently customise the column headings in our Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridControl grid using a GridHeaderCellRenderer.

How do I go about customising how the row heading? (i.e. where the row numbers normal appear)

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

You can customize the row heading using GridHeaderCellRenderer class. But for simple customization like changing the color you can use BaseStylesMap. Please refer the below code snippet to achieve this:

this.gridControl1.Model.BaseStylesMap["Row Header"].StyleInfo.Interior =  new BrushInfo(GradientStyle.Vertical, Color.Red, Color.FromArgb(197, 222, 255));

Kindly refer to the link below that illustrates the same:

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi,

I am trying to do something like this, too. I would like to have the headers that correspond to the current cell highlighted. I have a solution, but it only works with ThemesEnabled = false. Is there a theme-friendly way of highlighting a header cell in the grid?

Thanks
Glenn
