DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs.RowIndex Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.dll

Gets the index of the current DataGridViewRow.

public:
 property int RowIndex { int get(); };

public int RowIndex { get; }

member this.RowIndex : int

Public ReadOnly Property RowIndex As Integer

Property Value

Int32

The index of the current DataGridViewRow.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the RowIndex property to access the current row. The code gets the value of the cell at the intersection of the selected row and the third column, and then paints this value over the entire row. The variable, e, is of type DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs. This code example is part of a larger example provided in How to: Customize the Appearance of Rows in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

// Get the content that spans multiple columns.
object recipe =
    this.dataGridView1.Rows.SharedRow(e.RowIndex).Cells[2].Value;

if (recipe != null)
{
    String text = recipe.ToString();

    // Calculate the bounds for the content that spans multiple 
    // columns, adjusting for the horizontal scrolling position 
    // and the current row height, and displaying only whole
    // lines of text.
    Rectangle textArea = rowBounds;
    textArea.X -= this.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset;
    textArea.Width += this.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset;
    textArea.Y += rowBounds.Height - e.InheritedRowStyle.Padding.Bottom;
    textArea.Height -= rowBounds.Height -
        e.InheritedRowStyle.Padding.Bottom;
    textArea.Height = (textArea.Height / e.InheritedRowStyle.Font.Height) *
        e.InheritedRowStyle.Font.Height;

    // Calculate the portion of the text area that needs painting.
    RectangleF clip = textArea;
    clip.Width -= this.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth + 1 - clip.X;
    clip.X = this.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth + 1;
    RectangleF oldClip = e.Graphics.ClipBounds;
    e.Graphics.SetClip(clip);

    // Draw the content that spans multiple columns.
    e.Graphics.DrawString(
        text, e.InheritedRowStyle.Font, forebrush, textArea);

    e.Graphics.SetClip(oldClip);
}

' Get the content that spans multiple columns.
Dim recipe As Object = _
    Me.dataGridView1.Rows.SharedRow(e.RowIndex).Cells(2).Value

If (recipe IsNot Nothing) Then
    Dim text As String = recipe.ToString()

    ' Calculate the bounds for the content that spans multiple 
    ' columns, adjusting for the horizontal scrolling position 
    ' and the current row height, and displaying only whole
    ' lines of text.
    Dim textArea As Rectangle = rowBounds
    textArea.X -= Me.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset
    textArea.Width += Me.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset
    textArea.Y += rowBounds.Height - e.InheritedRowStyle.Padding.Bottom
    textArea.Height -= rowBounds.Height - e.InheritedRowStyle.Padding.Bottom
    textArea.Height = (textArea.Height \ e.InheritedRowStyle.Font.Height) * _
        e.InheritedRowStyle.Font.Height

    ' Calculate the portion of the text area that needs painting.
    Dim clip As RectangleF = textArea
    clip.Width -= Me.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth + 1 - clip.X
    clip.X = Me.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth + 1
    Dim oldClip As RectangleF = e.Graphics.ClipBounds
    e.Graphics.SetClip(clip)

    ' Draw the content that spans multiple columns.
    e.Graphics.DrawString(text, e.InheritedRowStyle.Font, forebrush, _
        textArea)

    e.Graphics.SetClip(oldClip)
End If

Remarks

The row index can be used to access the current row within a DataGridViewRowCollection.
