Hi OL,

If you want to highlight the current cell, you can handle the PrepareViewSyleInfo event and set the style for the currentcell. Here is a code snippet,

private void gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
GridControl grid = sender as GridControl;
GridCurrentCell cc = grid.CurrentCell;
if( cc.RowIndex == e.RowIndex && e.ColIndex == cc.ColIndex)
{
e.Style.BackColor = grid.AlphaBlendSelectionColor;
e.Style.Borders.All = new GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Solid);
}
}

Best Regards,

Haneef thanks for your quick reply,

I dont want to highlight the current cell, i want it to not be highlighted when it is clicked upon !

I've attached a picture and in it you can see that although the row is selected and shows the selection color , the cell shows the selection color when it is clicked, it can not be edited, i want only the row to be selected not the cell

How do i achive that ?

Thanks

Hi OL,

Try setting the ListBoxSelectionMode property to SelectionMode.One.

this.grid.ListBoxSelectionMode=SelectionMode.One;

Hi Haneef,

Your suggestion of setting the SelectionMode to One is alreay what i did.

The cell can not be edited, the grid only show data, the problem is that the selected cell changes his color and i want it to appear as the selected row color.

What are the properties that change the current cell colors when it is selected, can i do it from there ?

Please look at the attached image again to understand what the problem is.

Thanks

Hi OL,

The HighlightCurrentRow ( \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\4.3.0.25\windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\Quick Start\HighlightCurrentRow\ ) browser sample shows you how to highlight the current row in a grid. It avoids the problems that arise as you traverse the various grid states as the old current cell deactivates and the new current cell becomes active. It uses a PrepareViewStyleInfo event handler to actually modify the style of any cell that is in the current row to display a highlighted cell. It uses the CurrentCellDeactivated and the CurrentCellActivated events to force the redraw of the old current row and the new current row so that only the proper row is ultimately highlighted. There are also other event handlers that are shown for other points in the flow sequence that occurs during a current cell move.

Here is a path.
