Row Header Names

Question

Hi all,

I am having trouble trying to add titles to rows in my data grid view - example code is as follows:

DataModule.LoadBIPTable()

BIPTableGridView.DataSource = DataModule.BIPTable

BIPTableGridView.Rows(0).HeaderCell.Value = "C1"

BIPTableGridView.Rows(1).HeaderCell.Value = "C2"

I have made sure that the gridview row headers visible property is true, but it still does not show the row titles. Any help appreciated.

Hi adw07,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

I'm sorry that you are changing the Header Text in a wrong way. You are just change the value, not the HeaderText. The HeaderText property will show the column text to the user:

    foreach (DataGridViewColumn column in dataGridView.Columns)
    {
        column.HeaderText = String.Concat("Column ",
            column.Index.ToString());
    }

Here is the specification on how to use the HeaderText property here:

Hi,

There does not appear to be a HeaderText property for the row headers - Does this mean there is no way to put text in a row header?

Answer 4

My Code is as shown above in the title - I'll try and explain it again here:

I have a DataGridView which shows a square datatable, and basically I need titles for both the columns and the rows. Now, putting column headers in is easy - just assign the columns' HeaderText property.

My question is - Is there anyway to put titles in the ROW header boxes. I cannot find any information about doing this, but seems a bit silly if there is no way to do this. 

Code is explained below:

 

DataModule.LoadBIPTable()             -> Assigns Values for each element in source datatable

BIPTableGridView.DataSource = DataModule.BIPTable          -> Assigns the datatable to the Gridview

BIPTableGridView.Rows(0).HeaderCell.Value = "C1"                -> I am trying to put titles in the row headers (does not work)

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
