Question

I have an issue with DataGridView. The default cell style has some margin or padding that makes all row higher than I need.

I set Height property in RowTemplate to a smaller value (i.e. 15 px) but now the cell cut lower signs like underscore (‘_’) and there is 1 or 2 blank pixels at the top of the cell.

How to make a DataGridView cell to show values with no padding/margin like in ListView (detail view)?

I am hoping that this goes some of the way to helping you in this situation;

void dataGridView1_CellPainting(object sender, DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)//remove padding
{
   // ignore the column header and row header cells

   if (e.RowIndex != -1 && e.ColumnIndex != -1)
   {
      e.PaintBackground(e.ClipBounds, true);
      e.Graphics.DrawString(Convert.ToString(e.FormattedValue), e.CellStyle.Font, Brushes.Gray, e.CellBounds.X, e.CellBounds.Y - 2, StringFormat.GenericDefault)
      e.Handled = true;
   }
}
