DataGridView.RowEnter Event

.NET Framework 2.0

Other Versions

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

Occurs when a row receives input focus and becomes the current row.

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

Syntax

C++

Copy

public event DataGridViewCellEventHandler RowEnter

Copy

/** @event */
public void add_RowEnter (DataGridViewCellEventHandler value)

/** @event */
public void remove_RowEnter (DataGridViewCellEventHandler value)

JScript

Copy

JScript supports the use of events, but not the declaration of new ones.

Remarks

This event occurs when the DataGridView is initially loaded, as well as when the user selects a row other than the current row.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

Example

The following code example illustrates how to handle this event to change the BackColor property of the cells in the current row. In this example, the background color is set in the RowEnter event, then reset to Empty on the RowLeave event. To run this example, paste the code into a form that contains a DataGridView named dataGridView1, and ensure that all events are associated with their event handlers.

Copy

private void dataGridView1_RowEnter(object sender, 
    DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells.Count; i++)
    {
        dataGridView1[i, e.RowIndex].Style.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
    }
}

private void dataGridView1_RowLeave(object sender, 
    DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells.Count; i++)
    {
        dataGridView1[i, e.RowIndex].Style.BackColor = Color.Empty;
    }
}
