Disable selected cell highlight.

[Clint Singer]

Hi,

Currently I am using row selection for my readonly grid.  There is a cell highlight that shows which cell the user has selected.  I would like to disable that highlight so that the row selection looks consistent no matter where on the row the user clicks.  Is there a way to do disable the cell selection highlight?

Cheers,
Clint

Hello Clint Singer,

To disable the highlight you will need to edit the cell template and change the background of the cell when it goes to current state. Attached I am sending you a sample application which does just that.

I hope this will solve the issue you are having.

hello,
nice sample but how can i use it in different forms and put this in the app.xaml to declare it only once.

Hi Ulrich Fiege,

You can do that by placing all of the resources (Styles, brushes, etc.) in the Resource section of your App.xaml. Once you do that you will be able to access those resources from every other UserControl.

foreach(var col in this.gridView.Columns)
                col.CellStyle = (Style)Application.Current.Resources["GridViewCellStyle"];

All the best,

Hi, do you guys have an updated version of this sample for Silverlight 4? It worked great in SL3 but it seems you removed the AlignmentContentPresenter in your latest library and this code no longer works. Anyway that I try to fix it so that it runs it causes the text of the cell to vanish although the highlighting seems to work correctly. Thanks.

Hello Dan,

 
Indeed the AlignmentContentPresenter is obsoleted, you need to use a ContentPresenter instead.
Please give it a try and let me know if you need any further assistance.

There is no property of the radgridview control called ContentPresenter. I have tried some of the other presenters in the radgridview but none work at all.

The problem line in the xaml:

    <Telerik_Windows_Controls_GridView:AlignmentContentPresenter x:Name="PART_ContentPresenter" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Visibility="Visible" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" TextAlignment="{TemplateBinding TextAlignment}" TextDecorations="{TemplateBinding TextDecorations}" TextWrapping="{TemplateBinding TextWrapping}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"/>

Without that the whole sample falls apart. Is there any workaround? Thanks.
