Maintaining cell State

[Steven]

Good morning,

Some of my cells must be Disabled

GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)this.grid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(item);
                        grid.Cells[2].IsEnabled = false;

But when I check the value of the property "Cell.IsEnable", it stays to True.
The State of my cell is not maintained...

How can I maintained it ?

Regards,

Hi,

 It will be better to use StyleSelectors since the grid is UI virtual component and containers like cells, rows, etc. will be recycled during scrolling, sorting, etc.

In fact my Cell state depends on another state.
How can I handle this with a StyleSelector ?

Thanks,

PS : If you post a sample, please no .zip. I am not allowed to open thus files.

Yes, I have checked the demo and the sample code.
But the style selector does not depend on another cell.

Hi,

 You have access to the data item itself and you can check any property.

I have use the style selector but it did not resolved my problem...

In fact, when I click on cell which should be Disabled, the first cell of the row is selected.
I need to remove this selection because the user should not be able to click on a disabled cell...

I tried to cancel the CurrentCellChanged but the newCell.IsEnable stays at true...

Hello Steven,

 The behavior of the disabled cells that you have described is actually by design. When you have a disabled cell, then the UI hits it as not visible, so it does not receive the mouse events - it cannot be selected, it cannot be clicked. This causes that the underlying row receives the click. You will get the same if you click on the end of a row, where you have an empty space after the columns(cells).

When the row is clicked, then the first cell of the row is focused by default. The CurrentCellChanged event is fired by the focusing of the first cell of the row(as the row receives the click), not by selecting the Disabled cell.

Nevertheless, your point is reasonable, so we will discuss this case for eventual future improvements.
