Hi

I am trying to set the 'Background' property on the ColumnManagerRow. How do I get hold of an instance of this class in order to set the property?

Thanks

Nick

Prove this :

ColumnManagerRow managerRow = new ColumnManagerRow();
managerRow.BackColor = Color.White;

There is a better solution :

this.gridControl1.FixedHeaderRows[0].BackColor = Color.White;

If you drop the GridControl in the designer, this will be the second row in the FixedHeaderRows collection, the first being the GroupByRow.  You can access it through the variable created by the designer or as shown above, by the FixedHeaderRows collection.

e.g.:

columnManagerRow1.BackColor = Color.Blue;

or

ColumnManagerRow colManager = gridControl1.FixedHeaderRows[ 1 ] as ColumnManagerRow;

colManager.BackColor = Color.Blue;

If you want this to work, whatever theme is selected for the grid (through the UIStyle property), set the OverrideUIStyle property to true.

e.g.;

columnManagerRow1.OverrideUIStyle = true;

columnManagerRow1.BackColor = Color.Blue;
