Gridlistview grayed-out

Question

How can I "gray-out" a gridlistcontrol. I want to disable the whole control - and therefore the disabled control should be "grayed out" to show the user that he can''t do anything with the control at the moment.

Is this possible? When I set Enabled to "false" then the control is disabled but not gray like other windows controls.

Cheers,
Tim

Try setting Enabled = false and also handling PrepareViewStyleInfo on the embedded grid to see if that gives you what you want.


this.gridListControl1.Enabled = false;
this.gridListControl1.Grid.PrepareViewStyleInfo += new GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventHandler(Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo);



private void Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
	if(!this.ListBox1.Enabled)
	{
		e.Style.TextColor = SystemColors.GrayText;
	}
}
