C#

void gcMultiRow_SectionPainting(object sender, SectionPaintingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.RowIndex == this.gcMultiRow.NewRowIndex && e.Scope == CellScope.Row)
            {
                e.Paint(e.ClipBounds);

                StringFormat sf = new StringFormat();
                sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;

                // Paint string in section face.
                e.Graphics.DrawString("Edit cell in this row to add new rows", gcMultiRow.Font, Brushes.Gray, e.SectionBounds, sf);

                // If you customize the paint logic, make sure the Handled property is set to true.
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }

VB.NET

Private Sub gcMultiRow_SectionPainting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SectionPaintingEventArgs) Handles gcMultiRow.SectionPainting
        If e.RowIndex = Me.gcMultiRow.NewRowIndex AndAlso e.Scope = CellScope.Row Then
            e.Paint(e.ClipBounds)

            Dim sf As New StringFormat()
            sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center

            ' Paint string in section face.
            e.Graphics.DrawString("Edit cell in this row to add new rows", gcMultiRow.Font, Brushes.Gray, e.SectionBounds, sf)

            ' If you customize the paint logic, make sure the Handled property is set to true.
            e.Handled = True
        End If
    End Sub
