About the sample

This sample illustrates how to change state of header checkbox in GridCheckBoxColumnn Programmatically in WinForms DataGrid.

In WinForms DataGrid (SfDataGrid), checkbox in the header cell of the GridCheckBoxColumn can be checked/unchecked by manually clicking on the checkbox in the header or by checking/unchecking the checkboxes in all the record cells. You can also change the checkbox state of the header cell of the GridCheckBoxColumn programmatically.

var headerState = (CheckState)(this.sfDataGrid1.Columns["IsClosed"] as GridCheckBoxColumn).GetType().GetProperty("HeaderState", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance
    | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(this.sfDataGrid1.Columns["IsClosed"] as GridCheckBoxColumn);

if (headerState == CheckState.Checked)
{
    (this.sfDataGrid1.Columns["IsClosed"] as GridCheckBoxColumn).GetType().GetProperty("HeaderState", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance 
        | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(this.sfDataGrid1.Columns["IsClosed"] as GridCheckBoxColumn, CheckState.Unchecked);

    foreach(var item in orderInfo.OrdersListDetails)
    {
        item.IsClosed = false;
    }
}
else if (headerState == CheckState.Unchecked)
{
    (this.sfDataGrid1.Columns["IsClosed"] as GridCheckBoxColumn).GetType().GetProperty("HeaderState", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance 
        | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(this.sfDataGrid1.Columns["IsClosed"] as GridCheckBoxColumn, CheckState.Checked);

    foreach (var item in orderInfo.OrdersListDetails)
    {
        item.IsClosed = true;
    }
}
