  Hi there,

  I would like to know if there is any property to set placeholder in C1FlexGrid like below?
  
  

  If no, then it means I shall write my own placeholder source code by using BeforeEdit event, AfterEdit event and change cell style to grey font etc, in order to achieve ‘Placeholder’ effect.

  Hi,

  There is no direct property for the placeholder in C1FlexGrid. As a workaround, you can use the OwnerDrawCell event to manually draw the placeholder text on the cells of the required columns when they are empty. Kindly refer to the attached sample showing the same.
