Hi

I am trying to set the ‘Background’ property on the ColumnManagerRow. How do I get hold of an instance of this class in order to set the property?

Thanks

Prove this :

ColumnManagerRow

managerRow = new ColumnManagerRow();
managerRow.BackColor = Color.White;

this.gridControl1.FixedHeaderRows.Remove(this.gridControl1.FixedHeaderRows[0]);
gridControl1.FixedHeaderRows.Add(managerRow);

But , this works only when the UIStyle is set to System or WindowsClassic. I know that this is not a manner get hold the instance of this class, but at least it work. I hope this is useful for you

There is a better solution :

this.gridControl1.FixedHeaderRows[0].BackColor = Color.White;

If you drop the GridControl in the designer, this will be the second row in the FixedHeaderRows collection, the first being the GroupByRow.  You can access it through the variable created by the designer or as shown above, by the FixedHeaderRows collection.

e.g.:

columnManagerRow1.BackColor = Color.Blue;

or

ColumnManagerRow colManager = gridControl1.FixedHeaderRows[ 1 ] as ColumnManagerRow;

colManager.BackColor = Color.Blue;

 

If you want this to work, whatever theme is selected for the grid (through the UIStyle property), set the OverrideUIStyle property to true.

e.g.;

columnManagerRow1.OverrideUIStyle = true;

columnManagerRow1.BackColor = Color.Blue;

Is there a new way to do this because FixedHeaderRows no longer appears to be a property of the DataGridControl, unless I need to reference additional assemblies to do this?  If so, which one(s).

 

Thanks
