Removing all grid lines

[Javier]

I've been trying this all day, but is there any way to remove all grid lines just using implicit styles on a grid with 2 levels of grouping? I'm using the Metro theme and would like to just get down to a completely clean grid.

I've set the borderbrush=0 and background=transparent on the following styles:

GridViewGroupFooterRow
GridViewGroupRow
GridViewGroupFooterCell
GridViewIndentCell
GridViewGroupFooterIndentCell

But I can't get rid myself of all the vertical and horizontal lines on the grid. It seems I am missing some styles, for example "GridViewGroupHeaderRow", "GridViewGroupHeaderCell", "GridViewGroupHeaderIdentCell" do not even exist.There is also a border around the rows in the group.

Am I correct in assuming the only way to remove those is to edit the control template in expression blend? I was trying to avoid it.

Thanks.

Hi Javier,

 Have you tried GridLinesVisibility? You can check this demo for more info:

I did try that. When grouping however It has no effect on the border surrounding the rows that are in the group. I've opened the control template in blend. Would you know where these 3 borders are defined as per my screenshot?

Hi Javier,

 

Setting GridLinesVisibility would not affect these borders because they are part of GridViewGroupRow and GridViewIndentCell. If you want to permanently remove these borders you should predefine the templates of GridViewGroupRow and GridViewIndentCell against Metro theme. I am attaching you sample application which demonstrates how this can be achieved. However if you set Metro theme either to RadGridView or at an application level the Border from the GridViewIndentCell would not disappear because we have an issue related to the style of this element in a theme different than the default one.
