#Remarks
The CustomDrawRowIndicator event is raised each time a row indicator cell needs to be repainted. The cell’s row can be identified using the RowObjectCustomDrawEventArgs.RowHandle parameter. Note that this property returns the master row’s handle when painting a cell corresponding to a detail section. When the band header or column header indicator cell is painted, the parameter returns the GridControl.InvalidRowHandle field value. If you need to identify whether the cell corresponds to the band header panel, column header panel or a detail section, use the View’s GridView.CalcHitInfo method. Pass the cell’s top-left corner coordinates as the method’s parameter. The returned object’s GridHitInfo.HitTest property can be used to identify the indicator cell type. Please refer to the Hit Information topic for details.
See the Custom Painting Basics and Custom Painting Scenarios topics for information on using custom draw events.
Important
Do not change cell values, modify the control’s layout, or change the control’s object model in the events used for custom control painting. Actions that update the layout can cause the control to malfunction.

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