How to disable cell highlighting in Q2 2010

[Helene Lach]

In the past I have been using a style snippet I found on this forum to help get rid of the default cell highlighting in my gridviews. I just upgraded to Q2 2010, and the code does not compile any more - it appears AlignmentContentPresenter has been marked obsolete and removed. How can I achieve the same functionality with this new version? Here is the code I use in my styles.xaml:

 

<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="GridViewRowSelectedCell" EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
     <GradientStop Color="#FFFFFDF9" Offset="0"/>
     <GradientStop Color="#FFFFEDC7" Offset="1"/>
 </LinearGradientBrush>
 <SolidColorBrush x:Key="GridViewDisabledBackground" Color="#FFEEEEEE"/>
 <SolidColorBrush x:Key="GridViewDisabledBorderBrush" Color="#FFBBBBBB"/>
 <ControlTemplate x:Key="GridViewCellTemplate" TargetType="RadGrid:GridViewCell">
     <Border x:Name="PART_CellBorder" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
         <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
             <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
                 <VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
                 <VisualState x:Name="Current">
                     <Storyboard>
                         <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="PART_CellBorder" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background">
                             <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0">
                                 <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                                     <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
                                         <GradientStop Color="#00FFFDF9" Offset="0"/>
                                         <GradientStop Color="#00FFEDC7" Offset="1"/>
                                     </LinearGradientBrush>
                                 </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                             </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
                         </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                     </Storyboard>
                 </VisualState>
             </VisualStateGroup>
             <VisualStateGroup x:Name="EditingStates">
                 <VisualState x:Name="Edited">
                     <Storyboard>
                         <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="PART_ContentPresenter" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Margin">
                             <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0" Value="0"/>
                         </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                         <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="PART_ContentPresenter" Storyboard.TargetProperty="VerticalAlignment">

                         </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                     </Storyboard>
                 </VisualState>
                 <VisualState x:Name="Display"/>
             </VisualStateGroup>
             <VisualStateGroup x:Name="DisabledStates">

                 <VisualState x:Name="Disabled">

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

 You can edit the same template with Blend and again remove desired states/elements.

Can you elaborate on that a bit? I'm afraid I don't understand how you advice applies.

Hello,

 The idea is to get the new template exactly in the same way as the old template - from Blend. How did you get the old template?

Best wishes,

Hey guys,

one question about this xaml code above.

How can i edit this style from blend? I got exactly the same problem and i´m tried to delete the cell highlighting.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Chris,

Considering the topic how to edit the style of GridViewCell please see the following article Styling a Cell. In addition to this article I have prepared an example for you that demonstrates how to remove states from GridViewCell.

Please see the attached and let me know if you need any additional information.
