Loose Focus and selected row in RadGridView

[Romain]

Hi,

I use a RadGridView to display a collection of object. I use it for display only, no user input needed except for a button in the last column.

Why I use this control for such display and not a ListBox: a ListBox would require me to create an ItemTemplate but I need to keep constant columns width between my object properties so I can have a consistent alignment for all items. Also the columns should always be set to the largest control within it.

I remove most features that makes it look like a table: 

<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="radGridView"
                                 ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
                                 ShowColumnHeaders="False" ShowGroupPanel="False"
                                 RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"
                                 AlternateRowBackground="Transparent"
                                 AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                                 GridLinesVisibility="None"
                                 CanUserFreezeColumns="False" CanUserReorderColumns="False"
                                 CanUserSelectColumns="False">

I also set CanUserSelect="False" and  IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="False" but that didn't seem to work...

The last step would be to remove the selection and its display. I would like to remove the focus and color change when click on a row. I tried to set IsHitTestVisible = "False" but it prevent me to use my buttons in the last column.. 

                                

Any suggestions ?

Thank you for your help

Hello Romain,

One way of achieving this behavior is by extracting the default control template of the GridViewRow element. Then, modify the BorderBrush property of both the x:Name="Background_Over" and x:Name="Background_Selected" Border elements (for example, you could set it to White). Create a new Style with TargetType="GridViewRow" and set the modified template to its Template property. Include an additional Setter for the MouseOverBackground and set it to the desired color (White is a possible option). After that, create a new Style with TargetType="GridViewCell" and modify the CurrentBorderBrush property by setting a new value. Finally, set the CanUserSelect property to False and IsReadOnly to True of the RadGridView control.

After applying these suggestions the following result should be present:

I have attached a sample project, which has the above suggestions applied. The default control template of the GridViewRow element is extracted from the Office_Black theme.
