Hi all,
The old datagrid had a caption. I am upgrading to VS2005 and converting
datagrids to datagridviews. Is there a way to put a caption on a
datagridview?
Thanks.
 
Hi John,

Thank you for posting.

Microsoft considered the Caption of a DataGrid isn't a needed feature as
UIs were getting more graphical and more "office-like". So this feature is
removed from DataGridView. It's up to application developers to combine and
style things as they feel fit for their application. For example, you could
create a user control combining a DataGridView and a Label.

Hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any other concerns or need anything else, please don't hesitate
to let me know.

Thanks Linda. I know this decision was not yours, but I think it was a poor
one. Captions are great when one wants to have multiple datagridviews
displaying parent-child data. I vote for the caption to be brought back to
the datagridview and would wonder if anyone else would join me in this.
Thanks.
