Public Function GetFirstColumn (includeFilter As DataGridViewElementStates) As DataGridViewColumn
Parameters
- includeFilter
- DataGridViewElementStates
A bitwise combination of the DataGridViewElementStates values that represents the filter for inclusion.
Returns
The first column in display order that meets the given filter requirements, or null
if no column is found.
Exceptions
includeFilter
is not a valid bitwise combination of DataGridViewElementStates values.
Examples
The following code example uses the GetFirstColumn method to swap the first displayed column and the last displayed column.
// Swap the last column with the first.
void Button10_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, EventArgs^ /*args*/ )
{
DataGridViewColumnCollection^ columnCollection = dataGridView->Columns;
DataGridViewColumn^ firstDisplayedColumn = columnCollection->GetFirstColumn( DataGridViewElementStates::Visible );
DataGridViewColumn^ lastDisplayedColumn = columnCollection->GetLastColumn( DataGridViewElementStates::Visible, DataGridViewElementStates::None );
int firstColumn_sIndex = firstDisplayedColumn->DisplayIndex;
firstDisplayedColumn->DisplayIndex = lastDisplayedColumn->DisplayIndex;
lastDisplayedColumn->DisplayIndex = firstColumn_sIndex;
}
// Swap the last column with the first.
private void Button10_Click(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
DataGridViewColumnCollection columnCollection = dataGridView.Columns;
DataGridViewColumn firstVisibleColumn =
columnCollection.GetFirstColumn(DataGridViewElementStates.Visible);
DataGridViewColumn lastVisibleColumn =
columnCollection.GetLastColumn(
DataGridViewElementStates.Visible, DataGridViewElementStates.None);
int firstColumn_sIndex = firstVisibleColumn.DisplayIndex;
firstVisibleColumn.DisplayIndex = lastVisibleColumn.DisplayIndex;
lastVisibleColumn.DisplayIndex = firstColumn_sIndex;
}
' Swap the last column with the first.
Private Sub Button10_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal args As EventArgs) Handles Button10.Click
Dim columnCollection As DataGridViewColumnCollection = _
dataGridView.Columns
Dim firstVisibleColumn As DataGridViewColumn = _
columnCollection.GetFirstColumn(DataGridViewElementStates.Visible)
Dim lastVisibleColumn As DataGridViewColumn = _
columnCollection.GetLastColumn(DataGridViewElementStates.Visible, _
Nothing)
Dim firstColumn_sIndex As Integer = firstVisibleColumn.DisplayIndex
firstVisibleColumn.DisplayIndex = _
lastVisibleColumn.DisplayIndex
lastVisibleColumn.DisplayIndex = firstColumn_sIndex
End Sub
Remarks
The first column in display order is the column with the lowest DisplayIndex value, regardless of whether the column is actually visible on the screen.
This method lets you determine the first column that fits the given criteria without having to compare index values directly.
