How to: Custom Paint Row Indicators

  • 2 minutes to read

This example illustrates how to apply custom colors to row indicators. You can test this sample in the Custom painting - CustomDrawRowIndicator Data Grid demo.

CustomDraw - RowIndicator

private void Form3_Load1(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    CustomDrawRowIndicator(gridControl1, gridView1);
}

public static void CustomDrawRowIndicator(GridControl gridControl, GridView gridView) {
    gridView.IndicatorWidth = 50;
    // Handle this event to paint RowIndicator manually
    gridView.CustomDrawRowIndicator += (s, e) => {
        if (!e.Info.IsRowIndicator) return;
        GridView view = s as GridView;
        e.Handled = true;

        e.Appearance.BackColor = view.FocusedRowHandle == e.RowHandle ? Color.Chocolate : Color.MediumSpringGreen;
        e.Appearance.FillRectangle(e.Cache, new Rectangle(e.Bounds.X + 2, e.Bounds.Y + 2, e.Bounds.Width - 4, e.Bounds.Y - 4));
        if (e.Info.ImageIndex < 0) return;
        ImageCollection ic = e.Info.ImageCollection as ImageCollection;
        Image indicator = ic.Images[e.Info.ImageIndex];
        e.Cache.DrawImage(indicator, new Rectangle(e.Bounds.X + 20, e.Bounds.Y + 6, indicator.Width, indicator.Height));
    };
}
