Examples

The following code example sets the FormattingApplied property to true to signal that formatting for this cell is finished.

void dataGridView1_CellFormatting( Object^ /*sender*/, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs^ e )

   // If the column is the Artist column, check the
   // value.

   {
      if ( e->Value != nullptr )
      {
         // Check for the string "pink" in the cell.
         String^ stringValue = dynamic_cast<String^>(e->Value);
         stringValue = stringValue->ToLower();
         if ( (stringValue->IndexOf( "pink" ) > -1) )
         {
            DataGridViewCellStyle^ pinkStyle = gcnew DataGridViewCellStyle;

            //Change the style of the cell.

Remarks

When handling the CellFormatting event, set the FormattingApplied property to true after setting the Value property if no further value formatting is required. If the FormattingApplied property value is false when the event handler exits, the formatting will be applied to the value as indicated by the Format, FormatProvider, NullValue, and DataSourceNullValue properties of the DataGridViewCellStyle object returned by the CellStyle property.
