DataGridViewColumn.CellTemplate Property

Definition

C#
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]
public virtual System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCell CellTemplate { get; set; }
C#
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]

A DataGridViewCell that all other cells in the column are modeled after. The default is null.

Attributes

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use a DataGridViewCell as a template for a DataGridViewColumn. Style changes made to any cell in the column affect all of the column's cells. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DataGridViewColumn class.

C#
private void CustomizeCellsInThirdColumn()
{
    int thirdColumn = 2;
    DataGridViewColumn column =
        dataGridView.Columns[thirdColumn];
    DataGridViewCell cell = new DataGridViewTextBoxCell();

    cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Wheat;
    column.CellTemplate = cell;
}

Remarks

The constructors for the DataGridViewColumn class initialize this property. The parameterless constructor sets the property to null; the other constructor copies the cell template from its parameter.

Poznámka

Changing the properties of the cell template will not immediately affect the user interface (UI) of the column's existing cells. These changes are only apparent after the column is regenerated (for example, by sorting the column or through a call to the DataGridView.InvalidateColumn method).
