DataGridColumnStyle::HeaderText Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets the text of the column header.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
public: property String^ HeaderText { virtual String^ get(); virtual void set(String^ value); }
Property Value
Type: System::String^A string that is displayed as the column header. If it is created by the DataGrid, the default value is the name of the PropertyDescriptor used to create the column. If it is created by the user, the default is an empty string ("").
The HeaderText property is typically used to display a caption that is different from the MappingName value when the MappingName value isn't easily understandable. For example, you can change the HeaderText to "First Name" when the MappingName value is "FName".
The following code example sets the HeaderText property to a new value.
void SetHeaderText()
{
DataGridColumnStyle^ dgCol;
DataColumn^ dataCol1;
DataTable^ dataTable1;
dgCol = dataGrid1->TableStyles[ 0 ]->GridColumnStyles[ 0 ];
dataTable1 = dataSet1->Tables[ dataGrid1->DataMember ];
dataCol1 = dataTable1->Columns[ dgCol->MappingName ];
dgCol->HeaderText = dataCol1->Caption;
}
