How to make ggc look like windows listview control (readonly, ect)

[jamesb]

How can I make the ggc look behave like a list view control with readonly static cells, ect

Try setting these properties to see if that does what you want.

this.gridGroupingControl1.DataSource = dt;

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "Static";
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.ShowRowHeader = false;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.AllowNew = false;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.One;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.ListBoxSelectionCurrentCellOptions = GridListBoxSelectionCurrentCellOptions.HideCurrentCell;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.Options.ShowCurrentCellBorderBehavior = GridShowCurrentCellBorder.HideAlways;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TopLevelGroupOptions.ShowCaption = false;

For some strange reason, the first column is still editable. The rest of the other columns are read-only!

I noticed that when I set the grid properties BEFORE I bind the ggc, then I experienced the problem with the first column being editable when I double-clicked in the cell.

However, when I set the ggc properties AFTER I bind the grid like in your example, it works as intended.

Hi James,

We have no other reports of this issue, and have not seen it in our system. Let us know the below information for analysing the issue further.

1) Exactly what version of Windows XP are you using?
2) Are you only installing Essential Grid or are you installing Essential Studio? Are you installing binaries only, or the source code version, or eval version?
3) What version of the .NET framework and VS are you using? Has this system had any of the .NET 2.0 betas installed on it?
4) Have you seen this on multipple systems?
5) Did you see any errors during the installation of Essential Grid?

Thanks for your patience.

Best Regards,
Haneef

5) Did you see any errors during the installation of Essential Grid? no

on another note, now that it works, I have a couple of question related to the this list view look-
1. when i select a record, and do a sort by clicking on the column header, the selection marker does not move with the currently selected record, but remain static at the current position.

1. how do I remove the selection thru code?

I have the ggc behaving like a listbox. I have a checkbox in the header and have the first column as a checkbox field, following the example in this forum (bounded checkbox in ggc).

However, when I clicked the checkbox, it is not checked. The row is selected, but the check box is not checked. is this this because AnyCell is set to 'Static'.

I do not think this should be happening since I have this line below

this.gridGroupingControl.TableDescriptor.Columns["FirstColumn"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "CheckBox";

can you all help?

Hi James,

The reason is that you are setting the ListBoxSelectionCurrentCellOptions property to GridListBoxSelectionCurrentCellOptions.HideCurrentCell. It doesn't select the current cell in a Grid. But you can do this by handling the TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo event. Please try the attached sample and let me know if this helps.
