I have a dataGridView object that is populated with data. I want to click a button and have it change the color of the background of the cell. This is what I currently have
foreach(DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
foreach(DataGridViewColumn col in dataGridView1.Columns)
{
//row.Cells[col.Index].Style.BackColor = Color.Green; //doesn't work
//col.Cells[row.Index].Style.BackColor = Color.Green; //doesn't work
dataGridView1[col.Index, row.Index].Style.BackColor = Color.Green; //doesn't work
}
}
ALL of these three cause the table to be redrawn over itself in an overlapping manner and trying to re-size the tables becomes a mess. when clicking on a cell, the value remains highlighted and the backcolor doesn't change.
Q: How can I change the backcolor of an individual cell after the table exists?
This works for me
dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[columnIndex].Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
