Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v24.2.dll

Declaration

Event Data

The CustomDrawGroupRowCell event's data class is DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.RowGroupRowCellEventArgs.

Remarks

The grid fires the CustomDrawGroupRowCell event if the AlignGroupSummaryInGroupRow option is set to DefaultBoolean.True.

The following example shows how to display group summaries for the “Length” and “Mark” columns in group rows, and paint these group row cells.

C#

gridView.OptionsBehavior.AlignGroupSummaryInGroupRow = DefaultBoolean.True;
    // group summaries
    GridGroupSummaryItem item = new GridGroupSummaryItem() {
        FieldName = "Length",
        SummaryType = SummaryItemType.Sum,
        ShowInGroupColumnFooter = gridView.Columns["Length"]
    };
    gridView.GroupSummary.Add(item);

    item = new GridGroupSummaryItem() {
        FieldName = "Mark",
        SummaryType = SummaryItemType.Count,
        ShowInGroupColumnFooter = gridView.Columns["Mark"]
    };
    gridView.GroupSummary.Add(item);
    gridView.Columns["ID"].Group();

    // Handle this event to paint group row cells manually
    gridView.CustomDrawGroupRowCell += (s, e) => {
        e.Appearance.BackColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond;
        e.Appearance.FillRectangle(e.Cache, e.Bounds);
        e.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.DimGray;
        e.Appearance.DrawString(e.Cache, e.DisplayText, e.CaptionBounds);
        e.Handled = true;
    };

VB.NET

gridView.OptionsBehavior.AlignGroupSummaryInGroupRow = DefaultBoolean.True
    ' group summaries
    Dim item As New GridGroupSummaryItem() With {.FieldName = "Length", .SummaryType = SummaryItemType.Sum, .ShowInGroupColumnFooter = gridView.Columns("Length")}
    gridView.GroupSummary.Add(item)

    item = New GridGroupSummaryItem() With {.FieldName = "Mark", .SummaryType = SummaryItemType.Count, .ShowInGroupColumnFooter = gridView.Columns("Mark")}
    gridView.GroupSummary.Add(item)
    gridView.Columns("ID").Group()

    ' Handle this event to paint group row cells manually
    AddHandler gridView.CustomDrawGroupRowCell, Sub(s, e)
        e.Appearance.BackColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond
        e.Appearance.FillRectangle(e.Cache, e.Bounds)
        e.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.DimGray
        e.Appearance.DrawString(e.Cache, e.DisplayText, e.CaptionBounds)
        e.Handled = True
    End Sub
