Prevent hot-tracking and cell formatting of selected row?

[Lou]

Hi, how do I prevent hot-tracking and highlighting of a selected cell/row with the RadListView?

I need to do this with ListViews having a ViewType of both IconView and DetailsView.

I found the following post and tried the suggestion (with both ViewTypes) but it did not work for me:

The code I was using was (following the above post):

void radListView1_SelectedItemChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    radListView1.CurrentItem = null;
    radListView1.SelectedItem = null;
}

 Thanks,

Hi Lou,

Thank you for writing.

You can disable the border and fill drawing in the VisualItemFormatting and CellFormatting events:

void radListView1_VisualItemFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewVisualItemEventArgs e)
{
    e.VisualItem.DrawFill = false;
    e.VisualItem.DrawBorder = false;
}

void radListView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{

    e.CellElement.DrawBorder = false;
}

More information about this events is available here: Formatting Items.

Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.

Thanks, that worked.

 ( It might be a good idea for you to add a comment to the post http://www.telerik.com/forums/remove-selected-and-hover-states to direct users to this thread, to prevent them following the incorrect path that I followed. )

Hi Lou,

Thank you for writing back.

The suggested approach is actually correct, and if you remove all the states styles from the theme the highlighting will disappear. However this requires some additional work.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
