How to disable focus outline on frozen rows and columns in Syncfusion Blazor SfGrid?

I'm using Syncfusion Blazor SfGrid with FrozenRows and FrozenColumns enabled.


In my case, the first row and first column are frozen:


FrozenRows = 1

FrozenColumns = 1


The problem is that users can still focus on the frozen cells. When clicking or navigating with the keyboard, the frozen cells show a focus outline.


I want the frozen area (both rows and columns) to behave like a non-editable header area:


- Cannot be selected

- Cannot receive focus

- No focus outline should appear

- Users should only interact with the scrollable cells


Currently I tried cancelling the selection in CellSelecting:

Hi Dev Tester,

Based on the details you shared, it appears that you would like to disable the focus outline on frozen rows and columns. We would like to clarify that, by default, when navigating between row cells, the focus will also move to the frozen columns and frozen rows. This is the expected behavior of the DataGrid.

Before we proceed further with possible workaround solutions for your requirement, we kindly request a few additional details from your end:

  • Could you please share with us the selection mode used on the grid?
  • Could you please share the grid code snippet along with the model class?
  • Could you please share a sample with duplicate data?

These details will help us validate the reported query and provide an appropriate solution as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.


Regards,
Prathap Senthil
