Remarks
The CustomDrawCardFieldValue event is raised before a cell is repainted. It enables you to paint the processed cell manually or to change its settings before it is painted by the default painting mechanism. See the Custom Painting Basics and Custom Painting Scenarios topics for information on using custom draw events.
Note
The CustomDrawCardFieldValue event is not raised if you handle the CardView.CustomDrawCardField event and set its CustomDrawEventArgs.Handled parameter to true.
Note
The control’s events designed to change the appearance or rendering of control elements must not be used to update cell values or to modify the control’s layout. Any inappropriate operation which causes a layout update, may break the normal control behavior.
Example
The following example handles the CardView.CustomDrawCardFieldValue event to custom paint card field values in the Price column.
private void cardView1_CustomDrawCardFieldValue(object sender, Views.Base.RowCellCustomDrawEventArgs e) {
if (e.Column.FieldName != "Price") return;
// The brush to fill the cell background.
Color color1 = Color.FromArgb(40, 170, 225);
Color color2 = Color.FromArgb(35, 80, 160);
Brush brush = e.Cache.GetGradientBrush(e.Bounds, color1, color2, LinearGradientMode.Horizontal);
e.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.White;
e.Appearance.Font = e.Cache.GetFont(e.Appearance.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
e.Cache.FillRectangle(brush, e.Bounds);
e.Appearance.DrawString(e.Cache, e.DisplayText, e.Bounds);
// Prevent default painting.
e.Handled = true;
