c# How can I check if a datagrid contains column "x" and column "x" is visible?

Question

Hi all,

How can I check if a datagrid contains column "x" and column "x" is visible?

All I have so far is below.

if (Dgv.Columns.Contains("Address") & ....

Thanks

Answer 1

You can test the column visibility using the Visible property:

if (column.Visible)
{
    // Do Stuff
}

This will tell you if the column should be displayed.

You can get the column via this call if you know the index:

DataColumn column = dGV.Columns[index];

If the column is displayed but off the screen I don't know how you'd test for that.

Answer 2

Loop through the columns, checking the heading (I assume that's what you're looking for) and the Visible property.

Answer 3

The straightforward method:

if (dgv.Columns.Contains("Address") && dgv.Columns["Address"].Visible)
{
    // do stuff
}
