void InvalidateCell(

)

Parameters

columnIndex
Type: System::Int32

The column index of the cell to invalidate.

Type: System::Int32

The row index of the cell to invalidate.

This method is useful to force a cell repaint in conditions that would not normally cause a cell to be repainted. For example, you can use this method with a custom cell type that changes its appearance as a result of external events.

For more information about painting and invalidation, see Invalidate.

The following code example illustrates how to use this method in a custom cell type that changes a cell's appearance when the user rests the mouse pointer over it. This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Customize Cells and Columns in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control by Extending Their Behavior and Appearance.
