Load an image for a column

To load an image for a column in WinForms grid grouping control, the following ways can be used,

1. QueryCellStyleInfo event.

2. Using Appearance property.

Using QueryCellStyleInfo event

In this method, the cell type of a column is changed to image cell and image can be loaded by adding an image to a list and assigned that list to ImageList Property. Particular image can be set by setting the Index of an image using ImageIndex Property.

this.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellStyleInfo += gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo;
 
void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.TableCellIdentity.RowIndex > 2 && e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex == 2)
   {
      e.Style.CellType = GridCellTypeName.Image;
     //image collection is stored in this list
     e.Style.ImageList= image;
     //index of the image to be added.
     e.Style.ImageIndex = 0;
   }
}

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.RowIndex > 2 AndAlso e.TableCellIdentity.ColIndex = 2 Then
      e.Style.CellType = GridCellTypeName.Image
       'image collection is stored in this list
      e.Style.ImageList= image
       'index of the image to be added.
      e.Style.ImageIndex = 0
   End If
End Sub

Using Appearance property

An image can be loaded for a column by setting Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType to image cell for specific columns.

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[1].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = GridCellTypeName.Image; this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[1].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.ImageList = image; this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[1].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.ImageIndex = 0;

Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns(1).Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = GridCellTypeName.Image
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns(1).Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.ImageList = image
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns(1).Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.ImageIndex = 0
