[Solved] Prevent the ability to click underlying cell in Column with Checkbox

[Timothy]

I have a custom column defined as below,

Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Windows
Imports System.Windows.Controls
Imports System.Windows.Documents
Imports System.Windows.Ink
Imports System.Windows.Input
Imports System.Windows.Media
Imports System.Windows.Media.Animation
Imports System.Windows.Shapes
Imports Telerik.Windows.Controls
Imports Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView
Imports System.Windows.Controls.Primitives

Public Class CustomColumn
    Inherits GridViewDataColumn


    Public Overrides Function CreateCellElement(ByVal cell As GridViewCell, ByVal dataItem As Object) As FrameworkElement
        Dim cb = TryCast(cell.Content, CheckBox)

        If cell.Value IsNot Nothing Then
            If cb Is Nothing Then
                cb = New CheckBox()
                cb.Height = 20
                cb.SetBinding(CheckBox.IsCheckedProperty, Me.DataMemberBinding)
                cell.Content = cb
                cell.SetBinding(GridViewCell.ValueProperty, Me.DataMemberBinding)
            End If
        Else
        End If

        If cell.Value = "True" Then
            cell.Background = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green)
        ElseIf cell.Value Is Nothing Then
            cell.Background = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightGray)
            'cell.IsEnabled = False
        End If
        Return cb
    End Function
End Class

I have also defined custom actions when the checkbox is checked, unchecked. However I need to prevent the underlying cell (the area around the checkbox) from being able to be clicked as it is causing issues with my application. I only want the user to be able to modify the state of the checkbox and not be able to click the cell around it. Is this possible.

Please help.

Thanks,
Tim

Hello Timothy,

You may try to set the IsReadOnly property of the column to "True". 

Kind regards,

Thank you. That works perfectly. Surprised I never thought of it. I was running around in circles.

Thank you so much!
