Methods

CellToScreen(Int32, Int32)

Returns the screen position (relative to the control client area) that the given cell is rendered or null if it is outside the current scroll area or no table is loaded
Declaration
public Point? CellToScreen(int tableColumn, int tableRow)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 tableColumn The index of the Table column you are looking for, use System.Data.DataColumn.Ordinal
System.Int32 tableRow The index of the row in Table that you are looking for
Returns
Type Description
System.Nullable<Point>

ChangeSelectionByOffset(Int32, Int32, Boolean)

Moves the SelectedRow and SelectedColumn by the provided offsets. Optionally starting a box selection (see MultiSelect)
Declaration
public void ChangeSelectionByOffset(int offsetX, int offsetY, bool extendExistingSelection)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 offsetX Offset in number of columns
System.Int32 offsetY Offset in number of rows
System.Boolean extendExistingSelection True to create a multi cell selection or adjust an existing one

EnsureSelectedCellIsVisible()

Updates scroll offsets to ensure that the selected cell is visible. Has no effect if Table has not been set.
Declaration
public void EnsureSelectedCellIsVisible()
Remarks
Changes will not be immediately visible in the display until you call SetNeedsDisplay()

EnsureValidScrollOffsets()

Updates ColumnOffset and RowOffset where they are outside the bounds of the table (by adjusting them to the nearest existing cell). Has no effect if Table has not been set.
Declaration
public void EnsureValidScrollOffsets()
Remarks
Changes will not be immediately visible in the display until you call SetNeedsDisplay()

EnsureValidSelection()

Updates SelectedColumn, SelectedRow and MultiSelectedRegions where they are outside the bounds of the table (by adjusting them to the nearest existing cell). Has no effect if Table has not been set.
Declaration
public void EnsureValidSelection()
Remarks
Changes will not be immediately visible in the display until you call SetNeedsDisplay()

GetAllSelectedCells()

Returns all cells in any MultiSelectedRegions (if MultiSelect is enabled) and the selected cell
Declaration
public IEnumerable<Point> GetAllSelectedCells()
Returns
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Point>

IsSelected(Int32, Int32)

Returns true if the given cell is selected either because it is the active cell or part of a multi cell selection (e.g. FullRowSelect)
