DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs.RowIndex Property

public:
 property int RowIndex { int get(); };

public int RowIndex { get; }

member this.RowIndex : int

Public ReadOnly Property RowIndex As Integer

Property Value

The row index of the cell that is being formatted.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the RowIndex property to retrieve the cell being formatted. The cell reference is then used to set the cell's ToolTip text.

// Sets the ToolTip text for cells in the Rating column.
void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(Object^ /*sender*/, 
    DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs^ e)
{
    if ( (e->ColumnIndex == this->dataGridView1->Columns["Rating"]->Index)
        && e->Value != nullptr )
    {
        DataGridViewCell^ cell = 
            this->dataGridView1->Rows[e->RowIndex]->Cells[e->ColumnIndex];
        if (e->Value->Equals("*"))
        {                
            cell->ToolTipText = "very bad";
        }
        else if (e->Value->Equals("**"))
        {
            cell->ToolTipText = "bad";
        }
        else if (e->Value->Equals("***"))
        {
            cell->ToolTipText = "good";
        }
        else if (e->Value->Equals("****"))
        {
            cell->ToolTipText = "very good";
        }
    }
}

// Sets the ToolTip text for cells in the Rating column.
void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, 
    DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if ( (e.ColumnIndex == this.dataGridView1.Columns["Rating"].Index)
        && e.Value != null )
    {
        DataGridViewCell cell = 
            this.dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex];
        if (e.Value.Equals("*"))
        {                
            cell.ToolTipText = "very bad";
        }
        else if (e.Value.Equals("**"))
        {
            cell.ToolTipText = "bad";
        }
        else if (e.Value.Equals("***"))
        {
            cell.ToolTipText = "good";
        }
        else if (e.Value.Equals("****"))
        {
            cell.ToolTipText = "very good";
        }
    }
}

' Sets the ToolTip text for cells in the Rating column.
Sub dataGridView1_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) _
    Handles dataGridView1.CellFormatting

    If e.ColumnIndex = Me.dataGridView1.Columns("Rating").Index _
        AndAlso (e.Value IsNot Nothing) Then

        With Me.dataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(e.ColumnIndex)

            If e.Value.Equals("*") Then
                .ToolTipText = "very bad"
            ElseIf e.Value.Equals("**") Then
                .ToolTipText = "bad"
            ElseIf e.Value.Equals("***") Then
                .ToolTipText = "good"
            ElseIf e.Value.Equals("****") Then
                .ToolTipText = "very good"
            End If

        End With

    End If

End Sub
