Hi, I don't know how to rotate a text in a DataGridView column header to be written vertically from bottom to top. I found a property called GdiVerticalFont in a datagridview ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle, but it doesn't work. I don't have any experience in programming user controls so I hope that someone help me to find a good solution. I would be grateful for any tip how to modify an existing control, where to put the code and what to modify. Thanks in advance

I fooled around with trying to get this to work for about 3 hours today with little success. This is what I have found out so far. It looks like using ListView is going to be a dead end. It doesn’t appear to offer any methods for adding custom column types. I have also seen that Microsoft has replaced the DataGrid with DataGridView. Looks like there are some good improvements but many of the examples that I was going to give you have methods not included in DataGridView.

From what I can tell right now this is what you will have to do.

1. Get your DataGridView setup with you data bindings, etc.
2. Create a new class that inherits DataGridViewTextBoxCell
3. Within DataGridViewTextBoxCell, setup all of the text rotations as described in my rotating text tutorial.
4. Add the new column type to the DataGridView.

I will work some more on this later. It appears that this may turn out to be quite a project. In the meantime you might want to refer to some of the following links.

Hi,

try the following code,

Private Sub dgv_rmxOrdDetail_CellPainting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs) Handles dgv_rmxOrdDetail.CellPainting

If e.RowIndex = -1 Then

e.PaintBackground(e.CellBounds, True)
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(e.CellBounds.Left, e.CellBounds.Bottom)
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(270)
e.Graphics.DrawString(e.FormattedValue.ToString, e.CellStyle.Font, Brushes.Blue, 5, 5)
e.Graphics.ResetTransform()
e.Handled = True
End If

End Sub

To run this effectively, RowHeader.Visible should be false.

This code is working very properly for me.

bye

Hi!

I tried the code that Christy provided. The code didn't go as I've hoped it would, eventhough I've set the RowHeader.Visible to false. And I can't understand how I could change the location of the text. The location of the text was messed up in my program.

But I found another way of implementing this. Using the code above :



I can't remember where I've found this. I think the only problem here is that the text is facing the other side (which is the left side). I still can't figure out how I would rotate it.

I will say that you should have much more luck with DataGridView over DataGrid. I started using DataGridView about a year ago and I have to say that Microsoft added some MUCH need functionality.
