I am using the code found here to print my windows form datagrid. My question that I have is how can I make the row height greater than the default height?

It doesn't look like it showed my link, so here it is:

And this is WinForms or?

FoxTrotCharlie 2-Apr-13 14:56pm

Sorry, yes this is for a windows form.

Kenneth Haugland 2-Apr-13 14:57pm

Well, cant help you there, but fixed the tag for you :-)

FoxTrotCharlie 2-Apr-13 14:59pm

Apologies for the incorrect tag, but thank you for updating!

No problem. I could help you in WPF but not WinForms. I skipped WinForms and went straight for WPF.

Solution 1

It seems to be simple to achieve:

C#

printer.RowHeight = DGVPrinter.RowHeightSetting.CellHeight;

Please, follow the link to the article, go to the end of it to find Comments and Discussion section. There ask a question ;)

You can use DataGridViewRow.Height[^] or DataGridViewRow.MinimumHeight[^] property too.

C#

DataGridViewRow row = dataGridView.Rows[0];
row.Height = 15;
//or
DataGridViewRow row = dataGridView.Rows[1];
row.MinimumHeight = 40;

I saw that piece, but I thought I would have to actually set the height. Like CellHeight = 32;

Should I close this question and post in the QNA of the thread I linked back to? Is that the proper protocol?

Not necessary, but it's better to ask author of article...

Does that element of coding go in my DataGrid load event?

When I attempt to use my datagrid I get a compile error of dgvScheduler is a 'field' but is used like a 'type'

This is the syntax I used:
dgvScheduler row = dgvScheduler.Rows[0];
row.Height = 15;

Maciej Los 2-Apr-13 16:09pm

NOT dgvScheduler row = dgvScheduler.Rows[0], but DataGridViewRow row = dgvScheduler.Rows[0]
Do you see the difference?

FoxTrotCharlie 2-Apr-13 16:27pm

I do see the difference. Thank you for pointing that out. I get a debug error of Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index.

Ok, create new event for DataGridView: DataSourceChanged[^] and than place this code:

foreach (DataGridViewRow row in DataGridView1.Rows)
{
    row.Height = 15;
}

FoxTrotCharlie 2-Apr-13 16:47pm

I added this code:
private void dgvScheduler_DataSourceChanged(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dgvScheduler.Rows)
{
row.Height = 15;
}
}

but this is not making a change when I load the datagrid. Did I miss a step you listed out for me to follow?

EDIT ---
When stepping through my code it looks like this DataSourceChanged event for my DataGrid is not actually hit?!

Maciej Los 2-Apr-13 17:32pm

Default row's height is bigger than 15 ;)
Debug program to check it ;)

FoxTrotCharlie 2-Apr-13 21:56pm

I tried all kinds of sizes, I set it to 600, 6000 also and still no change.

When debugging my code never hits the dgvScheduler_DataSourceChnaged event! The way my form works is it loads a form with a blank datagrid. I press the load data button & a inputbox pops up asking who to load data on, once that selection has been made the grid is then populated. There is a separate button to press if the user desires to print the grid.

I can post code if necessary, since my code doesn't hit the DataSourceChanged.

Weird behavior...

I actually just discovered how to set the row height for a datagrid. I used this code:

dgvScheduler.RowTemplate.MinimumHeight = 30;
//And just set the Height to whatever value you are after!
