Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the Paint method of a DataGridViewButtonCell. This code example is part of a larger example provided in How to: Disable Buttons in a Button Column in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

protected override void Paint(Graphics graphics,
    Rectangle clipBounds, Rectangle cellBounds, int rowIndex,
    DataGridViewElementStates elementState, object value,
    object formattedValue, string errorText,
    DataGridViewCellStyle cellStyle,
    DataGridViewAdvancedBorderStyle advancedBorderStyle,
    DataGridViewPaintParts paintParts)
{
    // The button cell is disabled, so paint the border,  
    // background, and disabled button for the cell.
    if (!this.enabledValue)
    {
        // Draw the cell background, if specified.
        if ((paintParts & DataGridViewPaintParts.Background) ==
            DataGridViewPaintParts.Background)
        {
            SolidBrush cellBackground =
                new SolidBrush(cellStyle.BackColor);
            graphics.FillRectangle(cellBackground, cellBounds);
            cellBackground.Dispose();
        }

        // Draw the cell borders, if specified.
        if ((paintParts & DataGridViewPaintParts.Border) ==
            DataGridViewPaintParts.Border)
        {
