Hiding the Row Indicator

Updated on Sep 15, 2025

By default the first cell of a row represents the row indicator area. The indicator appears when the row is set as current.

The row indicator visibility is controlled with the RowIndicatorVisibility property of RadGridView.

Example 1: Hiding the row indicator

XAML
	<telerik:RadGridView RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed" />

Changing Rows Height

To limit the height of the rows, set the RowHeight property of RadGridView. The property affects the rows only if their content is measured with a height smaller or equal to the RowHeight value. Otherwise, the measured size takes precedence.

Example 2: Setting RowHeight

XAML
	<telerik:RadGridView RowHeight="50" />

Additionally, the rows content size can be limited via the MinHeight and MaxHeight properties of the GridViewRow control. To set those, you can use the RowStyle property of RadGridView.

Example 3: Setting row's MaxHeight

XAML
	<telerik:RadGridView>
		<telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>
			<!-- If you use NoXaml dlls set the BasedOn property of the Style: BasedOn="{StaticResource GridViewRowStyle}" -->
			<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">
				<Setter Property="MaxHeight" Value="36" />
			</Style>
		</telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>
	</telerik:RadGridView>

RadGridView allows you to easily customize each of the row types by just assigning a style to it.
