set hand cursor pointer on cell hover

[Vitor]

Hello Telerik,

I am trying to accomplish this

http://www.telerik.com/forums/gridview-cell-mousehover-hand-cursor

but for WPF.

Basically set a hand cursor when it is hovering on the "Name" cell.

I want to do a link-like visual to my cell (if you could also help on this, much appreciated)

I have tried to handle events like

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" MouseEnter="GridViewDataColumn_MouseEnter" GotMouseCapture="GridViewDataColumn_GotMouseCapture" MouseMove="GridViewDataColumn_MouseMove" IsMouseCaptureWithinChanged="GridViewDataColumn_IsMouseCaptureWithinChanged"  CellStyleSelector="{StaticResource NameLengthTemplateSelector}"/>

private void GridViewDataColumn_MouseEnter(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)
{

}

private void GridViewDataColumn_GotMouseCapture(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)
{

}

private void GridViewDataColumn_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)
{

}

private void GridViewDataColumn_IsMouseCaptureWithinChanged(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{

}

 

but none of them gets hit by my breakpoint when I hover my cell

 

 

please help!

cheers

Hi Vitor,

You can use GridView's MouseMove event, but you need to subscribe for it with handledEventsToo since it is handled by RadGridView internally. Then you can check if the originalSource is a child of GridViewCell element like so:

this.clubsGrid.AddHandler(MouseMoveEvent, new MouseEventHandler(OnMouseMove), true);
    }

    private void OnMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement).ParentOfType<GridViewCell>() != null)
        {
            Mouse.OverrideCursor = Cursors.Hand;
        }
        else
        {
            Mouse.OverrideCursor = Cursors.Arrow;
        }
    }

I hope this helps.

Hey Yoan!

 

Thank you for the quick reply.

It works for all cells. But how can I make it specifically for the Name column. The first column?

[Vitor]

actually I could do it by modifying the statement to

if ((e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement).ParentOfType<GridViewCell>() != null && (e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement).ParentOfType<GridViewCell>().Column.Name == "Name")

looks a bit ugly but that will do it

Hi Vitor,

Indeed, you can use the Column property of the GridViewCell element.
