I've posted this to the WinForms forum at GotDotNet - but thought I'd also try my luck in the WinForms NG. Yet another DataGrid post, I'm sure... :-) But Googling the Web far and wide has not yielded any results, and my own investigations into the DataGrid-related classes in the Framework have been even less fruitful. So the question is really simple (the application is less so, and I'll pose the question for that as well, in a bit): how do I custom paint into a DataGrid's column header area? Ideally, I'd like to do this in a derived DataGridColumnStyle, so that I can do this for any arbitrary column and make it part of the column's style. The real reason I am asking is because I am trying to develop my own custom column style for a DataGrid in which I have a column of checkboxes (much like DataGridBoolColumn) and also a checkbox in the column header. The functionality I'm trying to implement is to allow each row's checkbox to be used to select/deselect the row. The checkbox in the column header, then, would be used as a "Select All" checkbox. If there's a better place to Show() my "Select All" checkbox (as opposed to putting it in a Paint() method), I'm definitely all ears! (all eyes?) I think I've figured out how to trap the event for each row to actually cause selection of the row, but I still need to get the "Select All" to work. I know I'm not the most familiar with the WinForms DataGrid (I only recently figured out the "right" way to do a data-bound DataGridComboBox column, which once I spruce up, I'll consider for posting here), but this seems to be a simple extension that I have as yet to figure out how to approach as far as the implementation goes. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions on how to do both of the above? Am I being really naive here, or is this actually harder than it sounds (as I've believed all along)? |
