DataGridView.EnableHeadersVisualStyles Property

.NET Framework 2.0

Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether row and column headers use the visual styles of the user's current theme if visual styles are enabled for the application.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

Syntax

C++

public bool EnableHeadersVisualStyles { get; set; }

/** @property */
public boolean get_EnableHeadersVisualStyles ()

/** @property */
public void set_EnableHeadersVisualStyles (boolean value)

JScript

public function get EnableHeadersVisualStyles () : boolean

public function set EnableHeadersVisualStyles (value : boolean)

Property Value

true if visual styles are enabled for the headers; otherwise, false.

Remarks

You can enable visual styles for your application by calling the Application.EnableVisualStyles method before calling the System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run method. If EnableHeadersVisualStyles is set to true, all header cells except the TopLeftHeaderCell are painted using the current theme.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to disable visual styles for the row and column headers in an application that has visual styles enabled. In this example, visual styles have been enabled for the application by calling the EnableVisualStyles method in Main. However, visual styles will not be applied to the row and column headers because EnableHeadersVisualStyles is set to false. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DataGridViewAdvancedBorderStyle class.

public CustomDataGridView()
{
    this.RowTemplate = new DataGridViewCustomRow();
    this.Columns.Add(new DataGridViewCustomColumn());
    this.Columns.Add(new DataGridViewCustomColumn());
    this.Columns.Add(new DataGridViewCustomColumn());
    this.RowCount = 4;
    this.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false;
    this.AutoSize = true;
}
