How can I disable hot tracking from column header elements?

Hi

    How can I disable hot tracking from column header elements?

Hello Raymond,

this will stop any mouse over effect for the column headers

Private Sub RadGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.ViewCellFormatting
    If TypeOf e.CellElement Is GridHeaderCellElement Then
        e.CellElement.DrawFill = False
    End If
End Sub

Hope that helps
Richard

Hello Raymond,

The hot tracking style of the header cells is defined in the theme you use. Using the Visual Style Builder, you can edit the style of the GridHeaderCellElement (RadGridViewEiement -> TableElement -> GridTableHeaderRowElement -> GridHeaderCellElement) for the MouseOver element state.

A solution which uses code will not work for all themes. You can use Richard's approach for the ControlDefault theme.

This solution is probably enough good for me – I tested this on WinXP and it looks ok – so maybe changing theme will not be needed.

Tomorrow I will see how it looks on W7.
