How do I create a grid without any gridlines?

[Administrator]

I''d like to create a "plain" grid grouping control. By "plain" I mean no lines between the rows and columns and no border around the grid.

Also, how do I change the background color of the column headers and not display a row header.

This grid will not be editable. It will be used to for reporting purposes only.

TIA

Try these settings.

this.gridControl1.Properties.RowHeaders = false;
this.gridControl1.DefaultGridBorderStyle = GridBorderStyle.None;
GridStyleInfo style = this.gridControl1.BaseStylesMap["Column Header"].StyleInfo;
style.BackColor =Color.Red;
style.CellType = "Static";
this.gridControl1.TableStyle.CellType = "Static"; //all grid cells static

Hi Clay,

I am using a gridgroupingcontrol and your sample code does not work for it. What are the equivalent properties to achieve the same effect for a gridgroupingcontrol?

Thanks.

Try setting

groupingControl.Appearance.AnyCell.Borders.All = GridBorder.Empty;
groupingControl.TableModel.Options.DefaultGridBorderStyle = GridBorderStyle.None;

Thank you Stefan.

That effectively removed the grid lines.

Now how do I remove the row header (column 0 I think) so that no row/record marker is shown. Also, what property do I set to change the column header''s background color?

TIA.

Ok, I figured out the Row header thing.

Still need help with the Column header background color though.

For the column header set
groupingControl.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.Themed to false
Then you can also set its BackColor.

I tried your suggestion to set the header cells'' background color but it does not work.

Any other suggestions?

This code worked for me in the attached sample.

this.gridGroupingControl1.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.Themed = false;
this.gridGroupingControl1.Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.BackColor = Color.Red;

What are you doing differently? Can you post a sample that shows this problem? 13206_1530.zip
