SfDataGrid - Prevent right click from selecting row

Question

Hi,Is there any way to prevent the right click from changing row selection in a SfDataGrid? I just want to use it for context menus.

Hi Arvin,
You can prevent the right click from changing row selection in SfDataGrid by wiring the PreviewMouseDown event like below,

this.SfdataGrid.PreviewMouseDown+=SfdataGrid_PreviewMouseDown;

void SfdataGrid_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            if(e.ChangedButton==MouseButton.Right)
            {
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }

There doesn't seem to be an event called PreviewMouseDown.

I have a datagrid declared in XAML

<syncfusionGrid:SfDataGrid x:Name="TrackListUi" ...

in my page's constructor I try to subscribe to the event as you suggested but PreviewMouseDown isn't one of the events in the list. Any suggestions?

Hi Arvin, 
 
Sorry for the inconvenience. 
You can prevent the right click from changing row selection in SfDataGrid by customizing the SelectionController and overriding the ProcessPointerPressed like below, 




this.datagrid.SelectionController = new GridSelectionControllerExt(datagrid); 
 
public class GridSelectionControllerExt : GridSelectionController 
    { 
 
        public GridSelectionControllerExt(SfDataGrid dataGrid) 
            : base(dataGrid) 
        { } 
 
        protected override void ProcessPointerPressed(PointerRoutedEventArgs args, RowColumnIndex rowColumnIndex) 
        { 
            var properties = args.GetCurrentPoint(DataGrid).Properties; 
            if (properties.IsRightButtonPressed) 
            { 
                args.Handled = true; 
            } 
            else 
                base.ProcessPointerPressed(args, rowColumnIndex); 
        } 
    }
