datagridview apply cellstyle to cells
- by SchlaWiener
I used this example to create a DateTime column for a DataGridView in my winforms app.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7tas5c80.aspx
I can see the new column in the Windows Forms Designer and add it to an existing DataGridView.
However, I want to be able to change the display format when I change the "DefaultCellStyle" within the designer.
The designer generated code looks like this:
DataGridViewCellStyle1.Format = "t"
DataGridViewCellStyle1.NullValue = Nothing
Me.colDate.DefaultCellStyle = DataGridViewCellStyle1
Me.colDatum.Name = "colDate"
Me.colDatum.Resizable = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTriState.[False]
Which is fine. But since the code of the DataGridViewCalendarCell does this in the constructor:
Public Sub New()
Me.Style.Format = "d"
End Sub
The format never changes to "t" (time format).
I didn't find out how to apply the format from the owning column to I use this woraround atm:
Public Overrides Function GetInheritedStyle _
(ByVal inheritedCellStyle As _
System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellStyle, _
ByVal rowIndex As Integer, ByVal includeColors As Boolean) _
As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellStyle
If Me.OwningColumn IsNot Nothing Then
Me.Style.Format = Me.OwningColumn.DefaultCellStyle.Format
End If
Return MyBase.GetInheritedStyle(_
inheritedCellStyle, rowIndex, includeColors)
End Function
However, since this is just an hack I want to know which is the "how it should" be done way to apply the default cellstyle from a DataGridViewColumn to its cells. Any suggestions?
