Draws the focus rectangle around the specified bounds.

public:
 void DrawFocus(System::Drawing::Rectangle bounds, bool cellsPaintSelectionBackground);

public void DrawFocus (System.Drawing.Rectangle bounds, bool cellsPaintSelectionBackground);

member this.DrawFocus : System.Drawing.Rectangle * bool -> unit

Public Sub DrawFocus (bounds As Rectangle, cellsPaintSelectionBackground As Boolean)

Parameters

bounds: Rectangle

A Rectangle that specifies the focus area.

cellsPaintSelectionBackground: Boolean

true to use the SelectionBackColor property of the InheritedStyle property to determine the color of the focus rectangle; false to use the BackColor property of the InheritedStyle.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

RowIndex is less than zero or greater than the number of rows in the DataGridView control minus one.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the DrawFocus method to draw a focus around the visible cells of the row. The code actually uses the DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs.DrawFocus method, which is nearly identical to the DrawFocus method of DataGridViewRowPrePaintEventArgs. This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Customize the Appearance of Rows in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

// Paints the content that spans multiple columns and the focus rectangle.
void dataGridView1_RowPostPaint(object sender,
    DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Calculate the bounds of the row.
    Rectangle rowBounds = new Rectangle(
        this.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth, e.RowBounds.Top,
        this.dataGridView1.Columns.GetColumnsWidth(
            DataGridViewElementStates.Visible) -
        this.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset + 1,
        e.RowBounds.Height);

    SolidBrush forebrush = null;
    try
    {
        // Determine the foreground color.
        if ((e.State & DataGridViewElementStates.Selected) ==
            DataGridViewElementStates.Selected)
        {
            forebrush = new SolidBrush(e.InheritedRowStyle.SelectionForeColor);
        }
        else
        {
            forebrush = new SolidBrush(e.InheritedRowStyle.ForeColor);
        }

        // Get the content that spans multiple columns.
        object recipe =
            this.dataGridView1.Rows.SharedRow(e.RowIndex).Cells[2].Value;

        if (recipe != null)
        {
            String text = recipe.ToString();

            // Calculate the bounds for the content that spans multiple 
            // columns, adjusting for the horizontal scrolling position 
            // and the current row height, and displaying only whole
            // lines of text.
            Rectangle textArea = rowBounds;
            textArea.X -= this.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset;
            textArea.Width += this.dataGridView1.HorizontalScrollingOffset;
            textArea.Y += rowBounds.Height - e.InheritedRowStyle.Padding.Bottom;
            textArea.Height -= rowBounds.Height -
                e.InheritedRowStyle.Padding.Bottom;
            textArea.Height = (textArea.Height / e.InheritedRowStyle.Font.Height) *
                e.InheritedRowStyle.Font.Height;

            // Calculate the portion of the text area that needs painting.
            RectangleF clip = textArea;
            clip.Width -= this.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth + 1 - clip.X;
            clip.X = this.dataGridView1.RowHeadersWidth + 1;
            RectangleF oldClip = e.Graphics.ClipBounds;
            e.Graphics.SetClip(clip);

            // Draw the content that spans multiple columns.
            e.Graphics.DrawString(
                text, e.InheritedRowStyle.Font, forebrush, textArea);

            e.Graphics.SetClip(oldClip);
        }
    }
    finally

Remarks

Use the DrawFocus method when you draw the DataGridViewRow and its cells' contents yourself. If you manually paint the entire row and its cells' contents, set the HandledEventArgs.Handled property to true. When HandledEventArgs.Handled is true, the CellPainting and RowPostPaint events do not occur.
