Enables you to paint group footer cells manually.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v18.1.dll

Declaration

C#

[DXCategory("CustomDraw")]
public event FooterCellCustomDrawEventHandler CustomDrawRowFooterCell

VB.NET

<DXCategory("CustomDraw")>
Public Event CustomDrawRowFooterCell As FooterCellCustomDrawEventHandler

Event Data

The CustomDrawRowFooterCell event's data class is FooterCellCustomDrawEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Appearance	Gets the painted element’s appearance settings. Inherited from CustomDrawEventArgs.
Bounds	Returns a value specifying limits for the drawing area. Inherited from CustomDrawEventArgs.
Cache	Provides methods to paint on drawing surfaces in GDI+ and DirectX modes. See DirectX hardware acceleration to learn more. Inherited from CustomDrawEventArgs.
Column	Gets the column containing the painted element. Inherited from RowCellObjectCustomDrawEventArgs.
Graphics	A GDI+ drawing surface. Use the CustomDrawEventArgs.Cache property instead if you enable the DirectX hardware acceleration. Inherited from CustomDrawEventArgs.
Handled	Gets or sets a value specifying whether an event was handled and that the default element painting is therefore not required. Inherited from CustomDrawEventArgs.
Info	Gets an object providing information necessary to paint a footer cell.
Painter	Gets the painter object that provides the default element painting mechanism. Inherited from CustomDrawObjectEventArgs.
RowHandle	Gets the handle of the row whose corresponding element is being painted. Inherited from RowObjectCustomDrawEventArgs.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
DefaultDraw()	Performs default painting of an element. Inherited from CustomDrawEventArgs.

Remarks

The CustomDrawRowFooterCell event fires each time a group footer cell needs to be repainted. The cell’s column is identified by the RowCellObjectCustomDrawEventArgs.Column parameter. The cell’s row can be determined using the RowObjectCustomDrawEventArgs.RowHandle parameter.

See the Custom Painting Basics and Custom Painting Scenarios topics for information on using custom draw events.

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 example shows how you can customize group footers and their cells by handling the GridView.CustomDrawRowFooter and GridView.CustomDrawRowFooterCell events.

C#

gridView1.OptionsView.GroupFooterShowMode = GroupFooterShowMode.VisibleAlways;
gridView1.CustomDrawRowFooter += (sender, e) =>
{
    e.Cache.FillRectangle(e.Cache.GetGradientBrush(e.Bounds, Color.Red, Color.Maroon, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.Horizontal), e.Bounds);
    //Prevent default painting
    e.Handled = true;
};

GridGroupSummaryItem item = new GridGroupSummaryItem() {
    FieldName = "MPG Highway",
    SummaryType = DevExpress.Data.SummaryItemType.Sum,
    ShowInGroupColumnFooter = gridView1.Columns["MPG Highway"]
};
gridView1.GroupSummary.Add(item);
gridView1.CustomDrawRowFooterCell += (sender, e) =>
{
    e.Bounds.Inflate(-5, -5);
    e.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.Teal;
    e.Appearance.TextOptions.HAlignment = HorzAlignment.Center;
    e.Appearance.FontSizeDelta = 3;
    e.DefaultDraw();
    e.Cache.DrawRectangle(e.Cache.GetPen(Color.DarkOliveGreen, 5), e.Bounds);
    e.Handled = true;
};

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base
Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

gridView1.OptionsView.GroupFooterShowMode = GroupFooterShowMode.VisibleAlways
AddHandler gridView1.CustomDrawRowFooter, Sub(sender, e)
    e.Cache.FillRectangle(e.Cache.GetGradientBrush(e.Bounds, Color.Red, Color.Maroon, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.Horizontal), e.Bounds)
    'Prevent default painting
    e.Handled = True
End Sub

Dim item As New GridGroupSummaryItem() With {.FieldName = "MPG Highway", .SummaryType = DevExpress.Data.SummaryItemType.Sum, .ShowInGroupColumnFooter = gridView1.Columns("MPG Highway")}
gridView1.GroupSummary.Add(item)
AddHandler gridView1.CustomDrawRowFooterCell, Sub(sender, e)
    e.Bounds.Inflate(-5, -5)
    e.Appearance.ForeColor = Color.Teal
    e.Appearance.TextOptions.HAlignment = HorzAlignment.Center
    e.Appearance.FontSizeDelta = 3
    e.DefaultDraw()
    e.Cache.DrawRectangle(e.Cache.GetPen(Color.DarkOliveGreen, 5), e.Bounds)
    e.Handled = True
End Sub
