thicker excel selection border

[Unknown]

I have a grid that will be less dense in terms of data. I would like to use excel selection style for moving. I would like use a grab square (usually at the lower right) for growing a selection.

I need:
1. A way to make the excel selection frame thicker and thus easier to grab. Bleeding into the surrounding cells is fine (maybe preferred).
2. A way to make the grab square larger.

Any ideas?
Thanks

I think you can increase the grab square by changing the value of delta in Samples\In Depth\ExcelSelectionMarker\CS\ExcelMarkerMouseController.cs.

As far as making a thicker selection border, this not easily done as these values are hard code in our library code. There are no property settings that you can adjust to affect this width.

Thanks for the quick reply. Would it be possible for me to take the source of GridPaintExcelLikeSelection.cs and build a custom version? Could I add this to my grid without modifying and rebuilding the library i.e. in my code alone without changing the libraries you provide.

Yes, you can. Here is a little sample. But I am not sure what other problems you may run into as you try to tweak those numbers.
