CustomDrawRowHeaderIndentEventArgs.CategoryIndents Property

Gets a collection of category indents to be painted.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Events

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public Indents CategoryIndents { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property CategoryIndents As Indents

Property Value

Type	Description
DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.ViewInfo.Indents	An Indents object representing the collection of painted category indents.

Remarks

Each row header within a vertical grid contains indents. Indents are used to represent the data within the control in a tree like stucture. Indents are subdivided into two types (see the image below):

• row indents which belong to editor or multi-editor rows;
• category indents which belong only to category rows.

The CategoryIndents property provides access to the collection of category indents to be painted. Individual indents can be accessed using index notation.

Example

The following sample code handles the VGridControlBase.CustomDrawRowHeaderCell and VGridControlBase.CustomDrawRowHeaderIndent events to custom paint the focused row header and its indents. If the focused row is a category row, it is painted in the default manner.

The image below shows the result.

        // Creates the brush which is used to fill the background of row headers.
        using(var backBrush = new LinearGradientBrush(e.Bounds, Color.Orange,
            e.Appearance.BackColor2, LinearGradientMode.Vertical))
            e.Cache.FillRectangle(backBrush, e.Bounds);
        // Paints the row header's caption.
        e.Cache.DrawString(e.Caption, e.Appearance.Font, Brushes.DarkBlue,
            e.CaptionRect, e.Appearance.GetStringFormat());
        // Paints the row header's image.
