Remarks

The DataGridViewBand class represents DataGridViewCell elements joined together in a band that can be manipulated as a group. Each element is typically an instance of DataGridViewCell or one of its derived classes. Although a DataGridViewHeaderCell is associated with each band, header cells are not considered elements of the band.

DataGridViewBand is the base class of the DataGridViewRow and DataGridViewColumn classes. There are no public constructors for the DataGridViewBand type, so the only way to access a band is through columns and rows in a DataGridView.

Properties

ContextMenuStrip

Gets or sets the shortcut menu for the band.

DataGridView

Gets the DataGridView control associated with this element.

(Inherited from DataGridViewElement)
DefaultCellStyle

Gets or sets the default cell style of the band.

DefaultHeaderCellType

Gets or sets the run-time type of the default header cell.

Displayed

Gets a value indicating whether the band is currently displayed onscreen.

Frozen

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the band will move when a user scrolls through the DataGridView.

HasDefaultCellStyle

Gets a value indicating whether the DefaultCellStyle property has been set.

HeaderCellCore

Gets or sets the header cell of the DataGridViewBand.

Index

Gets the relative position of the band within the DataGridView control.

InheritedStyle

Gets the cell style in effect for the current band, taking into account style inheritance.

IsRow

Gets a value indicating whether the band represents a row.

ReadOnly

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the user can edit the band's cells.

Resizable

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the band can be resized in the user interface (UI).

Selected

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the band is in a selected user interface (UI) state.

State

Gets the user interface (UI) state of the element.

(Inherited from DataGridViewElement)
Tag

Gets or sets the object that contains data to associate with the band.

Visible

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the band is visible to the user.
