  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:
System.Windows.Forms.dll

Get the bounds of the current DataGridViewRow.

public:
 property System::Drawing::Rectangle RowBounds { System::Drawing::Rectangle get(); };
public System.Drawing.Rectangle RowBounds { get; }
member this.RowBounds : System.Drawing.Rectangle
Public ReadOnly Property RowBounds As Rectangle

Property Value

Rectangle

A Rectangle that represents the bounds of the current DataGridViewRow.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the RowBounds property to calculate the bounds of the row to paint a custom background. The variable, e, is of type DataGridViewRowPrePaintEventArgs. This code example is part of a larger example provided in How to: Customize the Appearance of Rows in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

// Determine whether the cell should be painted
// with the custom selection background.
if ((e.State & DataGridViewElementStates.Selected) ==
            DataGridViewElementStates.Selected)
{
    // Calculate the bounds of the row.
    Rectangle rowBounds = new Rectangle(
        this.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth, e.RowBounds.Top,
        this.dataGridView1.Columns.GetColumnsWidth(
            DataGridViewElementStates.Visible) -
        this.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset + 1,
        e.RowBounds.Height);

    // Paint the custom selection background.
    using (Brush backbrush =
        new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(rowBounds,
            this.dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor,
            e.InheritedRowStyle.ForeColor,
            System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.Horizontal))
    {
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(backbrush, rowBounds);
    }
}

' Determine whether the cell should be painted with the 
' custom selection background.
If (e.State And DataGridViewElementStates.Selected) = _
    DataGridViewElementStates.Selected Then

    ' Calculate the bounds of the row.
    Dim rowBounds As New Rectangle( _
        Me.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth, e.RowBounds.Top, _
        Me.dataGridView1.Columns.GetColumnsWidth( _
        DataGridViewElementStates.Visible) - _
        Me.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset + 1, _
        e.RowBounds.Height)

    ' Paint the custom selection background.
    Dim backbrush As New _
        System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(rowBounds, _
        Me.dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor, _
        e.InheritedRowStyle.ForeColor, _
        System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.Horizontal)
    Try
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(backbrush, rowBounds)
    Finally
        backbrush.Dispose()
    End Try
End If

Remarks

The width of the RowBounds property is the same as the width of the DataGridView. To get the width of the columns in the DataGridView, use the GetColumnsWidth method.
