What are the alternatives of SeparatorBrush and SeparatorVisibility?

[Qasim Raza]

In Default DataGrid we have DataGridColumnHeader where we have to properties available.

1: SeparatorBrush

2: SeparatorVisibility

In Syncfusion we have GridHeaderCellControl but cannot see any alternatives for above.

Looking forward to hear from you at your earliest.

Hi Qasim, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

SfDataGrid doesn’t have any direct property as SeparatorColor and SeparatorVisibility. We are currently working on this with high priority to find the feasibility to achieve this requirement. We will update you with details on October 8, 2019. We appreciate your patience until then.

Hi Qasim, 

Thanks for your patience.  

As we stated before SfDataGrid doesn’t have any direct properties as SeparatorColor and SeparatorVisibility. However you can achieve this requirement by writing style of TargetType GridHeaderCellControl as given the following code example. 

Code example :  

 

Please find the code example to change the separator color below. 

<Style x:Key="headerStyleSeparatorColor" TargetType="{x:Type syncfusion:GridHeaderCellControl}"> 

            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" /> 

            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Gray" /> 

            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,0,1" /> 

            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" /> 

            <Setter Property="Padding" Value="5,0,0,0" /> 

            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Gray" /> 

            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14" /> 

            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal" /> 

            <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False" /> 

            <Setter Property="syncfusion:VisualContainer.WantsMouseInput" Value="True" /> 

            <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center" /> 

            <Setter Property="Template"> 

                <Setter.Value>

Please find the code example to change Separator visibility below. 

 

<Style x:Key="headerStyleSeparatorVisibility" TargetType="syncfusion:GridHeaderCellControl"> 

    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,0,1"/> 

</Style> 

 

<syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="sfGrid"  

                       HeaderStyle="{StaticResource headerStyleSeparatorVisibility}" 

                       ColumnSizer="Star" 

                       ItemsSource="{Binding EmployeeDetails}" /> 

 

 

We have created a simple sample using the above code example and it is available in the following link for your reference.
