DataGridView Column Header Cell Style not working

Question

The backcolor for row header and column header does not work.

e.g.

Grid.Column(0).HeaderCell.Style.BackColor=Color.Blue 

Grid.Rows(0).HeaderCell.Style.BackColor=Color.Blue 

Grid.TopLeftHeaderCell.Style.BackColor=Color.Blue 

Answer 1

Sorry you will have to draw the column or row headers yourself if you want to change the color.

 

Paint in Column Header  or Paint in Row header

Answer 2

Thank you very much. I understand now what I need to do

Answer 3

If we do so, then column sorting feature gets lost. The sorting arrow at corner of column header dissappears, thats because whole rectangle gets filled. How to retain it?

Answer 4

You could always just remove the theming on the headers. Set EnableHeadersVisualStyles to false and the header coloring will be honored.
