[Solved] Remove Focus rectangle in ReadOnly grid

[Anne Lyon]

Hi,

I would like to remove the currentItem focus rectangle from my grid as it is read only and giving a cell the focus doesn't really make sense and makes the grid look "cluttered".
I have tried a solution I found in the forum with adding a "RowLoaded" callback to the grid and inserting the code:

if (e.Row is GridViewRow)
{
    e.Row.ChildrenOfType<Rectangle>().Where(r => r.Name == "CurrentBorder").ToList().ForEach(r => r.Opacity = 0);
}

But this callback has no effect on my Focus rectangle.
Anything else I can try?

Hello Anne Lyon,

You could try to edit the GridViewCell template and remove the Background_Current border and its visual state as illustrated in our online documentation here.

Another way is to handle the CurrentCellChanged event of the grid and execute the following code:

private void RadGridView_CurrentCellChanged(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewCurrentCellChangedEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.OldCell != null)

            {

                var Border = e.NewCell.ChildrenOfType<Border>().Where(r => r.Name == "Background_Current").FirstOrDefault();

                Border.Opacity = 0;

            }

Thanks Vladimir,

The CurrentCellChanged callback is fired only when I click on a row, but I wanted the focus to be gone as the table is loaded. But I found that I could use my original callback for RowLoaded but adding your code instead:

private void DokKrav_RowLoaded(object sender, RowLoadedEventArgs e)
 {
     if (e.Row is GridViewRow)
     {
          var Border = e.Row.ChildrenOfType<Border>().Where(r => r.Name == "Background_Current").FirstOrDefault();
         Border.Opacity = 0;
     }
 }

Everything is working fine now!
