.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / June 2007Unable to change the column header text in DataGridView
I am trying to change the column header text to red and I have this code: dCol.HeaderCell.Style.ForeColor = Color.Red; This change does indeed stick and I can see it in the debugger. However, the column name text is still showing up as black. I have seen this same problem asked around but with no answer. Does anybody know what is going on? Thanks. Hi, Try following code: DataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Navy DataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White DataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Font = New Font(songsDataGridView.Font, FontStyle.Bold) -- Hope this answers your question. Thanks and Regards. Manish Bafna. MCP and MCTS. > I am trying to change the column header text to red and I have this code: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks. Hi, In order to set forecolor/backcolor of particular column you can something like this: DataGridView1..Columns[4].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Navy DataGridView1..Columns[4].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White dataGridView1.Columns[4].DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font(DataGridView.DefaultFont, FontStyle.Italic);  SignatureHope this answers your question. Thanks and Regards. Manish Bafna. MCP and MCTS. > I am trying to change the column header text to red and I have this code: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks. Wouldn't that change the colors of all the cells in that column? I just want the header cell text color to change. > Hi, > In order to set forecolor/backcolor of particular column you can something [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > > > Thanks. Hi, Try this code: dataGridView.Rows(0).Cells(2).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Navy //for setting backcolor of second column SignatureHope this answers your question. Thanks and Regards.
