C#
public System.Drawing.Rectangle ClipBounds { get; set; }

Property Value

A Rectangle that represents the area of the DataGridView that needs to be repainted.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of this member. In the example, an event handler reports on the occurrence of the DataGridView.RowPostPaint event. This report helps you to learn when the event occurs and can assist you in debugging.

To run the example code, paste it into a project that contains an instance of type DataGridView named DataGridView1. Then ensure that the event handler is associated with the DataGridView.RowPostPaint event.

C#
private void DataGridView1_RowPostPaint(Object sender, DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs e) {

System.Text.StringBuilder messageBoxCS = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "ClipBounds", e.ClipBounds );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "ErrorText", e.ErrorText );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Graphics", e.Graphics );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "InheritedRowStyle", e.InheritedRowStyle );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "IsFirstDisplayedRow", e.IsFirstDisplayedRow );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "IsLastVisibleRow", e.IsLastVisibleRow );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "RowBounds", e.RowBounds );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "RowIndex", e.RowIndex );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "State", e.State );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
MessageBox.Show(messageBoxCS.ToString(), "RowPostPaint Event" );
}

Remarks

The ClipBounds property represents the area of the DataGridView that needs to be repainted. For example, if a user covers the entire DataGridView with another window and then uncovers it, then ClipBounds represents the entire DataGridView. If a user covers a small area of the DataGridView and then uncovers it, then ClipBounds represents the small area that was covered.
