How to get the tags when the style.Tag is set through PrepareViewStyleInfo or QueryCellInfo events?
When a tag of a cell style is set through ‘’ event, that tag value cannot be retrieved using `this.grid[0,1].Tag`. Instead, you can make use of GetView() method in WinForms GridControl for retrieving the tag in such cases.
C#:
this.gridControl1.PrepareViewStyleInfo += gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo;
}
private void gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
if (e.RowIndex == 0 && e.ColIndex == 1)
{
e.Style.Text = "Header1";
e.Style.Tag = "Test tag";
}
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
object obj = new object();
obj = this.gridControl1.GetViewStyleInfo(0, 1).Tag;
MessageBox.Show(obj.ToString());
}
VB:
Private Me.gridControl1.PrepareViewStyleInfo += AddressOf gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo } Private Sub gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs) If e.RowIndex = 0 AndAlso e.ColIndex = 1 Then e.Style.Text = "Header1" e.Style.Tag = "Test tag" End If End Sub Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim obj As New Object() obj = Me.gridControl1.GetViewStyleInfo(0, 1).Tag MessageBox.Show(obj.ToString()) End Sub
