Get dgv cell style back

Hello all:

I wanted to remove the padding on my datagridview cell and used some code I found here on this forum..

this
.dataGridView1.CellPainting += new
 DataGridViewCellPaintingEventHandler(dataGridView1_CellPainting);<br/>
<br/>
void
 dataGridView1_CellPainting(object
 sender, DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)//remove padding<br/>

        {<br/>
            // ignore the column header and row header cells<br/>

            if
 (e.RowIndex != -1 && e.ColumnIndex != -1)<br/>
            {<br/>
                e.PaintBackground(e.ClipBounds, true
);<br/>
                e.Graphics.DrawString(Convert.ToString(e.FormattedValue), e.CellStyle.Font, <strong>Brushes.Gray</strong>
, e.CellBounds.X, e.CellBounds.Y - 2, StringFormat.GenericDefault);<br/>
                e.Handled = true
;<br/>
            }<br/>
        }

It works great, all the padding is gone but theres a problem now with the styling of the cell, my color delclarations are now overridden as the Method uses

Brushes.Gray

and I loose my styling work...

DataGridViewCellStyle currenyCellStyle = new
 DataGridViewCellStyle();<br/>
            currenyCellStyle.Format = "C"
;<br/>
            currenyCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Green;<br/>
            this
.dataGridView1.Columns[2].DefaultCellStyle = currenyCellStyle;

The cell ForeColor is Gray and not Green

Is there any way i can get round this, any help appreciated

Regards

Hi,

->e.Graphics.DrawString(Convert.ToString(e.FormattedValue),

e.CellStyle.Font,

Brushes.Gray,

e.CellBounds.X,

e.CellBounds.Y - 2,

StringFormat.GenericDefault);

Change the brush. You can new a brush and set the color to the datagridviewCellstyle.ForeColor.

e.Graphics.DrawString(Convert.ToString(e.FormattedValue),

e.CellStyle.Font,

new SolidBrush(this.dataGridView1.CurrentCell.Style.ForeColor),

e.CellBounds.X,

e.CellBounds.Y - 2,

StringFormat.GenericDefault);

This FAQ shows some information about draw text. Hope this helps.
