AddItem(String) Method

In This Topic

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

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function AddItem( _
   ByVal item As String _
) As Row

public Row AddItem( 
   string item
)

Parameters

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.

Return Value

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.

Example

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;
