Cell Focus

[Michael]

I'm trying to prevent cells from being focused.  I saw this piece of code on another forum post:

if (gridCellElement != null)
{
 if (gridCellElement.IsCurrent)
 {
  gridCellElement.IsCurrent = false;
  gridCellElement.IsCurrentColumn = false;
 }
 else
 {
  gridCellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawBorderProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
  gridCellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawFillProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
 }
}

This works until I start editing a cell.  I saw something about creating a custom theme, but I do not know how to do that.  I am really hoping that there is a property I missed that says "don't draw cell focus", but I can't find it.

Hi Liru,

Thank you for writing.

As far as I understand your requirements, you would like to select a RadGridView row without indicating the current cell. The best approach to achieve the desired outcome is to modify the used theme, so that the selected cell has no visual indication. You will need to load the theme you are using in our Visual Style Builder tool and navigate to RadGridView >> RadGridViewElement >> GridTableElement >> GridDataRowElement  in the Controls Structure pane. Further, you will need to remove the repositories of the CellElements, so that the current cell behaves like a cell in the current row.

Attached you will find a modified tssp of the ControlDefault theme and a sample project that demonstrates my suggestion. In case you are not using the ControlDefault theme and you experience difficulties customizing the tssp on your own, please contact me back. Please mention the theme you are using, so that I can provide you with adequate assistance.

I hope my answer is helpful. Let me know if you need further assistance.
