<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>As I'm working quite some time now with the code project as a
reliable source which I could depend on improving my developping
skills, I decided it's time to do my own posting. I recently downloaded
the new Office 2007 and I'm quite excited about the new layout. I work
a lot with data and wanted to improve the interface of the
datagridview, with columnheaders similar to the ones found in Excel
2007, with a bit of gradient colour in it. </p>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>I first experimented with the columnheader and figured out I had to
switch of the EnableHeadersVisibleStyle option in order to get a color
as background. However, a single color did not quite look like the
gradient headers found in Office 2007. </p>
<p>So, I went further down and found the solution in overriding the
cell paint event of the datagridview. Columnheaders have a rowindex of
-1, which makes it easy to limit the method to be executed only on the
columnheader. There are quite a few option you can choose when
overriding the cell paint event in order to get a custom drawn
columnheader. I have chosen to make use of the graphics object and the
drawimage method, which allowed me to use an image resource as
background. It opens possibilities for re-using the code as part of a
skinning project, but that was beyond my needs for now. </p>
<p>Because of the use of the graphics object, there are some
alternatives for custom painting the datagridview columnheader, like
for instance using a lineargradientbrush. To do that, simply replace
the drawimage part of the method with the fillrectangle method. </p>
<h2>The code</h2>
<p>In the opening event of the form, I put some code to fill the datagridview. We'll skip that part here. </p>
<p>You could choose for creating a class which inherits from the
datagridview and override the cell paint event there, or you could just
override the event in the form class (I have chosen the last option for
the example). </p>
<p>The code looks like this :</p>
<p>Private Sub DataGridView1_CellPainting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal
e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs) Handles
DataGridView1.CellPaintingIf e.RowIndex = -1 ThenDim img As
ImageMy.Resources.HeaderDim format1 As StringFormatNew StringFormatDim
ef1 As SizeF = e.Graphics.MeasureString(e.Value, Me.Font, New
SizeF(CType(e.CellBounds.Width, Single), CType(e.CellBounds.Height,
Single)), format1)Dim txts As SizeDim txtr As Rectangle =
e.CellBoundsDim brush2 As BrushNew StringFormatNew
SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(21, 66, 139))Me.Font, brush2, CType(txtr,
RectangleF), format1)Dim recBorder As New Rectangle(e.CellBounds.X - 1,
e.CellBounds.Y, e.CellBounds.Width, e.CellBounds.Height - 1)TrueEnd
IfEnd Sub</p>
<p>img = </p>
<p>TekenAchtergrond(e.Graphics, img, e.CellBounds, 1)</p>
<p>format1 = </p>
<p>format1.HotkeyPrefix = System.Drawing.Text.HotkeyPrefix.Show</p>
<p>txts = Drawing.Size.Empty</p>
<p>txts = Drawing.Size.Ceiling(ef1)</p>
<p>e.CellBounds.Inflate(-4, -4)</p>
<p>txtr = HAlignWithin(txts, txtr, ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter)</p>
<p>txtr = VAlignWithin(txts, txtr, ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter)</p>
<p>format1 = </p>
<p>format1.HotkeyPrefix = System.Drawing.Text.HotkeyPrefix.Show</p>
<p>brush2 = </p>
<p>e.Graphics.DrawString(e.Value, </p>
<p>brush2.Dispose()</p>
<p>e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.LightSlateGray, recBorder)</p>
<p>e.Handled = </p>
<p>
</p><p>In the cellpaint event, I get my header background from the
resource files and pass it along with the graphics object, the drawing
rectangle and an index parameter which can be used if the image file
contains more than one template, for skinning purposes, to the
Tekenachtergrond (I'm from Belgium and tekenachtergrond is Dutch, means
something like draw background) method. As I only use one template in
this example, I set the index to 1. </p>
<p>The method, which is based on an article I found on this site which handles the skinning of controls (<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/skincontrol.asp">link to the article</a>), along with some extra alignment methods and variables, looks like this :</p>
