Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Forms::DataGridViewColumnHeaderCell^

A DataGridViewColumnHeaderCell that represents the header cell for the column.

The header of a column is typically used to display a column label. Depending on the current values of the SortMode and DataGridView::SelectionMode properties, users can also click the column header to sort or select the column.

The following code example uses the HeaderCell property to change column header style and contents.

// Style and number columns.
void Button8_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, EventArgs^ /*args*/ )
{
   DataGridViewCellStyle^ style = gcnew DataGridViewCellStyle;
   style->Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment::MiddleCenter;
   style->ForeColor = Color::IndianRed;
   style->BackColor = Color::Ivory;
   IEnumerator^ myEnum1 = dataGridView->Columns->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum1->MoveNext() )
   {
      DataGridViewColumn^ column = safe_cast<DataGridViewColumn^>(myEnum1->Current);
      column->HeaderCell->Value = column->Index.ToString();
      column->HeaderCell->Style = style;
   }
}
