Remarks
The CustomDrawFieldHeader event is raised before a field header is painted. Its event parameter provides all the information required to paint a cell. The field whose header is currently being processed is identified by the event parameter’s PivotCustomDrawFieldHeaderEventArgs.Field property. The PivotCustomDrawCellEventArgs.Handled property must be set to true to prohibit the default cell painting.
Important Note: custom drawing of any kind is ignored when printing PivotGridControl.
Note
To access event data while an asynchronous operation is being performed, use a thread-safe event parameter returned by the PivotCustomDrawFieldHeaderEventArgs.ThreadSafeArgs property. To learn more, see Asynchronous Mode.
Important
Never change cell values or modify the control’s layout on this event, or any other event designed to tune the control’s appearance. Any action that causes a layout update can cause the control to malfunction.
