Set image as Background for a cell
The following methods are used to set an image as a background for the cell in WinForms GridGroupingControl,
1. By using the DrawCell event
2. By using the QueryCellStyleInfo event
3. By using GridColumnDescriptor
The following code examples explain how to set an image as a background for the cell by using the DrawCell event.
// Event hooking
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.DrawCell += TableControl_DrawCell;
void TableControl_DrawCell(object sender, GridDrawCellEventArgs e)
{
ImageList image = new ImageList();
e.Style.TextColor = Color.Red;
e.Style.BackgroundImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"..\..\Note.jpg");
}'Event hooking
AddHandler Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.DrawCell, AddressOf TableControl_DrawCell
Private Sub TableControl_DrawCell(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridDrawCellEventArgs)
Dim image As New ImageList()
e.Style.TextColor = Color.Red
e.Style.BackgroundImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("..\..\Note.jpg")
End SubThe

The following
code examples explain how to set an image as a background for cell by
using QueryCellStyleInfo event.
// Event hooking
this.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellStyleInfo += gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo;
void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
if(e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex == 3 && e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex == 4)
{
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(@"..\..\Note.jpg");
e.Style.TextColor = Color.Red;
e.Style.BackgroundImage = b;
}
}'Event hooking
AddHandler Me.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellStyleInfo, AddressOf gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo
Private Sub gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs)
If e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex = 3 AndAlso e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex = 4 Then
Dim b As New Bitmap("..\..\Note.jpg")
e.Style.TextColor = Color.Red
e.Style.BackgroundImage = b
End If
End SubThe screenshot below displays the background image of the cell
The following code examples explain how to set an image as a background for the cell by using GridColumnDescriptor property.
GridColumnDescriptor columnDescriptor = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["CLM3"];
columnDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.CellType = GridCellTypeName.Static;
columnDescriptor.HeaderText = "text";
columnDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.TextColor = Color.Red;
// Draws image for a particular column.
columnDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.BackgroundImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"..\..\Note.jpg");
columnDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.BackgroundImageMode = GridBackgroundImageMode.CenterImage;Dim columnDescriptor As GridColumnDescriptor = Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns("CLM3")
columnDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.CellType = GridCellTypeName.Static
columnDescriptor.HeaderText = "text"
columnDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.TextColor = Color.Red;
'Draws image for a particular column.
columnDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.BackgroundImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("..\..\Note.jpg")
columnDescriptor.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.BackgroundImageMode = GridBackgroundImageMode.CenterImageThe screenshot below displays the background image of the cell
