C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.AddItem

AddItem Method

AddItem(string)

Adds a row to the grid and populates the new row with data.

Declaration

public Row AddItem(string item)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	item	String containing the data for the new row. Items are separated by tab characters by default. You can change the separator character using the ClipSeparators property.

Returns

Type	Description
Row	A reference to the new row.

Remarks

You can also add and remove rows using the Rows collection. The AddItem(string) method provides a concise syntax for creating the row, populating it with data, and then adding it to the grid.

Before using AddItem(string) to add a large number of rows to the grid, remember to set the Redraw property to false. When finished adding the rows, set Redraw back to its original value. This will significantly improve performance.

Examples

The code below adds 300 rows to the grid.

// suspend painting to improve performance
bool redraw = flex.Redraw;
flex.Redraw = false;

// append 100 rows, using tabs as separators
flex.ClipSeparators = "\t\n";
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
  flex.AddItem("\tcol1\tcol2\tcol3");

// add 100 rows at the top, using pipes as separators
flex.ClipSeparators = "|;";
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
  flex.AddItem("|col1|col2|col3", 0);

// append 100 rows at the bottom, using an object array
object[] items = { "col1", "col2", "col3" };
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
  flex.AddItem(items, flex.Rows.Count, flex.Cols.Fixed);

// restore painting
flex.Redraw = redraw;
