SfDataGrid selected row highlight or manual selection handling

[Leigh Anderson]

Hi - have started using an SfDataGrid in WinForms.

I want to allow single row selection, but only have the selection highlighting on the first column -is that possible?

(reason is I've set background colour on other columns and want that to remain visible when the row is selected)

Alternatively is it possible to simulate the selection manually?

So when a row is clicked just change the background colour of the first column cell and restore the colour of the previous one?

I've tried this using CellClickEvent to set a value in the row and QueryCellStyle to change the background colour for that value but its not working.

Is there something I need to call after changing a data value to force QueryCellStyle to update?

Thanks

Hi Gowtham

Thanks for the update.

I have another query - is it possible to force a refresh/redraw of a row?

I'm changing the images in my datasource but the display only seems to update if I move the mouse out left and back in to the grid!?

Also is there something to force QueryCellStyle as well?

Thanks

Don't worry - have found the answer myself - can use sfDataGrid:Refresh() and sfDataGrid:Update()
