Hello,

How can I prevent the box from appearing in a grids cell when the cell is selected?

Thanks

Hello Galvin,

Thank you for writing.

The "box" you are mentioning is the cell styling for the CurrentCell with the DesertTheme. If you want the cell to look like the other cells from the current row you should either more the styling for it from the theme, or you can use the CellFormatting event, to introduce the desired modifications. Here is how to do that:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.IsCurrent)
    {
        e.CellElement.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
        e.CellElement.BorderWidth = 0;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BorderWidthProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

I hope this helps.

Hello Stefan,

Thank you for the reply. I implemented the above sample code and it did the trick. I have the option to change the themes in my application and was figuring on how to implement this change across all themes for the grid.

Thanks

My apologies. I would need to apply it to all the Telerik Themes. I have attached some images to show that I still get some cell lines when I change a theme.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Gaivn,

Thank you for writing back.

There are two options here:

1. You can add code in the CellFormatting event removing the undesired styling for each theme separately. You can use this tool to identify the styles you want to remove: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/tools-controlspy-overview.html.

2. You can edit the themes that you are using and just remove the current cell styling. Attached you can find a sample video demonstrating how to do this.

I hope this helps.
