[Solved] Stop Header Column From Highlighting on Mouseover

[Lindsay]

Does anyone know how to make the header column stop highlighting on mouse over? It's fine if the data rows highlight.

Hi Lindsay,

To do this you need to go into Blend and get the default style and modify the Control Template of the GridViewHeaderCell. Within the template, there should be something that looks like this:

<Border x:Name="GridViewHeaderCell_Over" BorderBrush="{StaticResource GridView_HeaderOuterBorder_Over}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Opacity="0">
                    <Border Cursor="Hand" BorderBrush="{StaticResource GridView_HeaderInnerBorder_Over}" BorderThickness="0" Background="{StaticResource Background}"/>
                </Border>

By modifying this area, you can remove the mouse_over for the column headers.

Hi Jonathon:


I'm not very familiar with Expression Blend and I wasn't able to find the Control Template. Could you please elaborate?

Edit: I'm able to access the GridViewHeaderRowTemplate, but not the individual cell template.


Cheers,
Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,

 

You may edit the template of GridViewHeaderCell and remove the Border element named Background_Over which appears when the mouse is over each column header.
As Jonathon proposed you may use our online docs for further info.
Furthermore you may also refer to the following help article "Override the Default RadGridView Styles".

All the best,

Thank you for your help. I resolved the issue by commenting out the MouseOver code in the GridVIewHeaderCellTemplate.
