chnging the font style of a cell in a datagridview

Question

Hi for a value in a cell of a dgv I want to change the font style to bold when I click on a particular cell. For that I have written the following code under the dgv's cell click event but it is giving error

private void dgvItemsDetails_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {
            DataGridViewRow row = dgvItemsDetails.CurrentRow;
            int index = row.Index;
            dgvItemsDetails.Rows[index].DefaultCellStyle.Font = Font.Bold; // error here
        }

Thanks

Hi  You can do it with Following Code You need to First get The RowIndex then Column Index and Then Set Font of Cell :) private void dataGridView1_CellClick( object sender DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) { //Get Row Index int Rowindex = e.RowIndex; //Get Column Index int CellIndex = e.ColumnIndex; //Set Font to Bold dataGridView1.Rows[Rowindex].Cells[CellIndex].Style.Font = new Font ( Arial 12 FontStyle .Bold); } Use below if you want to set Whole Row Font to Bold dataGridView1.Rows[Rowindex].DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font ( Arial  12 FontStyle .Bold);
