Examples

The following code example populates an unbound DataGridView control and sets the ColumnHeadersVisible property to true to ensure that column headers are displayed.

   void InitializeDataGridView()
   {
      this->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 600, 600 );
      dataGridView1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 450, 400 );

      // Create an unbound DataGridView by declaring a column count.
      dataGridView1->ColumnCount = 4;
      dataGridView1->ColumnHeadersVisible = true;

      // Set the column header style.
      DataGridViewCellStyle ^ columnHeaderStyle = gcnew DataGridViewCellStyle;
      columnHeaderStyle->BackColor = Color::Aqua;
      columnHeaderStyle->Font = gcnew System::Drawing::Font( "Verdana",10,FontStyle::Bold );
      dataGridView1->ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle = columnHeaderStyle;

      // Set the column header names.
      dataGridView1->Columns[ 0 ]->Name = "Recipe";
      dataGridView1->Columns[ 1 ]->Name = "Category";
      dataGridView1->Columns[ 2 ]->Name = "Main Ingredients";
      dataGridView1->Columns[ 3 ]->Name = "Rating";

Remarks

If the ColumnHeadersVisible property is false, a column whose Resizable property is set to true can still be resized in the user interface (UI) by clicking with the mouse cursor anywhere along the right border of the column to be resized.
