+# WPF GridControl coveredcells
+
+This repository contains the samples that demonstrates various options in covered cell feature of [WPF GridControl](https://help.syncfusion.com/wpf/gridcontrol/overview).
+
+### Creating covered cells using QueryCoveredRange event
+
+You can also covered the range of cells by using [QueryCoveredRange](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridControlBase.html#Syncfusion_Windows_Controls_Grid_GridControlBase_QueryCoveredRange) event. This event will be raised for all the cells and you can set the range of cells by using [Range](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridQueryCoveredRangeEventArgs.html#Syncfusion_Windows_Controls_Grid_GridQueryCoveredRangeEventArgs_Range) property.
+
+``` csharp
+//Triggering the QueryCoveredRange event
+grid.QueryCoveredRange += Grid_QueryCoveredRange;
+
+private void Grid_QueryCoveredRange(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridQueryCoveredRangeEventArgs e)
+{
+    //Checking the cell to start covered range.
+    if(e.CellRowColumnIndex.RowIndex == 2 && e.CellRowColumnIndex.ColumnIndex == 2)
+    {
+        //Set the range to be covered.
+        e.Range = new CoveredCellInfo(2, 2, 5, 5);
+
+        //Handled property has to be enabled to perform this customization.
+        e.Handled = true;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Find whether a cell in covered range
+
+When you want to find a cell in covered ranges, you can use the [GetCoveredCell](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridCoveredCellInfoCollection.html#Syncfusion_Windows_Controls_Grid_GridCoveredCellInfoCollection_GetCoveredCell_System_Int32_System_Int32_) method. If the specified cell with row index and column index is inside in `GetCoveredCell`, a range will be returned.
+
+``` csharp
+// Adding covered ranges
+grid.Model.CoveredRanges.Add(new CoveredCellInfo(2, 2, 5, 5));
+
+//Find the covered ranges
+CoveredCellInfo coverRanges = grid.Model.CoveredRanges.GetCoveredCell(2, 3);
+MessageBox.Show("Cover range for cell (2,3) is " + "R" + coverRanges.Left + "C" + coverRanges.Top + ":" + "R" + coverRanges.Bottom + "C" + coverRanges.Right);
+```
+
+### Remove covered range at run time
+
+You can remove the covered range at run time by using [Clear](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.CellGrid.CellSpanInfoCollection-1.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_CellGrid_CellSpanInfoCollection_1_Clear) method.
+
+``` csharp
+//Removing the covered range from GridControl.
+grid.Model.CoveredRanges.Clear();
+```
+
+For example, If you want to remove the covered range at run time, create one button and set the Clear method for covered range in click event of button.
+
+#### XAML
+``` xml
+<Grid>
+    <syncfusion:GridControl Name="grid" Margin="10,20,0,0" />
+    <Button Height="50" Width="100" Margin="400,200,0,0" Click="Button_Click" />
+</Grid>
+```
+
+#### C#
+``` csharp
+grid.Model.CoveredRanges.Add(new CoveredCellInfo(2, 2, 5, 5));
+private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
+{
+    grid.Model.CoveredRanges.Clear();
+    grid.InvalidateCells();
+}
+```
+
+### Extend covered range at run time
+
+You can extend the covered range at run time by using [Add](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.CellGrid.CellSpanInfoCollection-1.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_CellGrid_CellSpanInfoCollection_1_Add__0_) method.
+
+For example, Create one button. Next, clear the current covered cell collection using `Clear` method and create new covered cell ranges by using `Add` method in this click event.
+
+``` csharp
+//Remove the current covered cell range
+grid.Model.CoveredRanges.Clear();
+grid.InvalidateCells();
+//Add new covered cell range
+grid.Model.CoveredRanges.Add(new CoveredCellInfo(2, 2, 7, 7));
+```
