Font	Gets the font used to paint the header caption. Inherited from CustomDrawHeaderEventArgsBase.
ForeColor	Gets the color used to paint the header caption text. Inherited from CustomDrawHeaderEventArgsBase.
Graphics	Gets an object used for painting. Inherited from CustomDrawObjectEventsArgs.

Remarks

The CustomDrawRowHeader event is raised before a row header is painted. Event arguments properties provide the objects and information required to paint the row header.

Set the CustomDrawObjectEventsArgs.Handled property to true to cancel default painting. Use the CustomDrawObjectEventsArgs.DrawDefault method to perform default painting within the event handler.

The code snippet below uses the SpreadsheetControl.CustomDrawRowHeader event to display a row number for every fifth row.

        e.Graphics.DrawString(text, e.Font,
