Examples

The following code example illustrates the use of this method. This example is part of a larger example available in How to: Customize Cells and Columns in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control by Extending Their Behavior and Appearance.

// Force the cell to repaint itself when the mouse pointer enters it.
protected override void OnMouseEnter(int rowIndex)
{
    this.DataGridView.InvalidateCell(this);
}

// Force the cell to repaint itself when the mouse pointer leaves it.
protected override void OnMouseLeave(int rowIndex)
{
    this.DataGridView.InvalidateCell(this);
}
' Force the cell to repaint itself when the mouse pointer enters it.
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseEnter(ByVal rowIndex As Integer)
    Me.DataGridView.InvalidateCell(Me)
End Sub

' Force the cell to repaint itself when the mouse pointer leaves it.
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseLeave(ByVal rowIndex As Integer)
    Me.DataGridView.InvalidateCell(Me)
End Sub

Remarks

This method is similar to the DataGridView.OnCellMouseEnter method. It is called in the same circumstances in which a DataGridView.CellMouseEnter event is raised, but it does not actually raise the event.
