Hello,

I dont think your suppose to be able to change the RowHeader text in a
windows form, its quite simple in asp.net but in a windows form it can be a
pain in the behind.

However you could trying the following code.

private void MyDataGridView_RowPostPaint(object sender,
DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs e)
{
// The using statement automatically disposes the brush.
using (SolidBrush b = new
SolidBrush(MyDataGridView.RowHeadersDefaultCellStyle.ForeColor))
{
e.Graphics.DrawString(e.RowIndex.ToString(),
e.InheritedRowStyle.Font, b, e.RowBounds.Location.X + 20,
e.RowBounds.Location.Y + 4);
}
}

Hope this helps in some way
