Hello,

Hopefully someone can help me out.

I want to have rownumbers in my datagridView rowheader. I searched the internet already. A lot of people talk about handling the paint event but I can't find a good example in Visual C++ .

Can somebody help me out with a good example or where I can find an example how to do it. I am working with DataGridView1 in my program.

Thanks,

Rodger

private: System::Void dataGridView1_CellPainting(System::Object^ sender, System::Windows::Forms::DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs^ e) { if((e->ColumnIndex==-1) && (e->RowIndex!=-1)) { StringFormat^ sf = gcnew StringFormat(); sf->Alignment = StringAlignment::Center; sf->LineAlignment = StringAlignment::Center; e->PaintBackground(e->CellBounds, true); int Row = e->RowIndex + 1; String^ s = Row.ToString(); e->Graphics->DrawString(s,this->Font, Brushes::Black, e->CellBounds, sf); e->Handled=true; } }

Thank you Ken Tucker, it works..

For people who want's the same; you have to add the following line in you source code next to the above void:

this->dataGridView1->CellPainting += gcnew System::Windows::Forms::DataGridViewCellPaintingEventHandler(this,&Form1::dataGridView1_CellPainting);
