chnging the font style of a cell in a datagridview

tekk

Hi for a value in a cell of a dgv I want to change the font style to bold when I click on a particular cell. For that I have written the following code under the dgv's cell click event but it is giving error

private void dgvItemsDetails_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {
            DataGridViewRow row = dgvItemsDetails.CurrentRow;
            int index = row.Index;
            dgvItemsDetails.Rows[index].DefaultCellStyle.Font = Font.Bold; // error here
        }

Thanks

Hi ,

You can do it with Following Code

You need to First get The RowIndex
then Column Index and Then Set Font of Cell :)

private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {
            //Get Row Index

            int Rowindex = e.RowIndex;

            //Get Column Index
            int CellIndex = e.ColumnIndex;

            //Set Font to Bold
            dataGridView1.Rows[Rowindex].Cells[CellIndex].Style.Font = new Font("Arial",12,FontStyle.Bold);
        }

Use below if you want to set Whole Row Font to Bold

dataGridView1.Rows[Rowindex].DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold);

{
dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font(Font.FontFamily, Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold);
