grid style customization

I would like to have an outlook style display for my GridGroupingControl.

I would like the selected row to highlight the entire row without isolating the cell separately.

Will i need to capture the cell click event to do this?
If so, can I still capture the cell doubleclick event?


Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

I would like to have an outlook style display for my GridGroupingControl.

The Outlook2007 browser sample shows the implementation of a Microsoft Outlook 2007 like interface using Essential Grouping Grid Control and other components from Essential Studio.

Sample : OutLook2007.zip

I would like the selected row to highlight the entire row without isolating the cell separately.

You can try setting the ListBoxSelectionMode property to SelectionMode.One/MultiSimple/MultiExtend.

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtend;

Can I capture the cell doubleclick event?

Yes, you can capture mouse doubleclick using TableControlCellDoubleClick event of the grid.

this.grid.TableControlCellDoubleClick +=new GridTableControlCellClickEventHandler(grid_TableControlCellDoubleClick);

private void grid_TableControlCellDoubleClick(object sender, GridTableControlCellClickEventArgs e)
{
Console.WrilteLine("DoubleClick fired...");
}

Haneef,
The issue with "SelectionMode.MultiExtend" is that the grid still highlights the cell that was clicked on (it draws a black box around it).

Is there a way to turn off that highlight?

Hi Jeremy,

Please try the below code snippet to turn OFF the CurrentCellBorder and SelectionBorder in a grid.

this.grid.TableOptions.ListBoxSelectionOutlineBorder = GridBorder.Empty;
this.grid.TableOptions.ListBoxSelectionCurrentCellOptions = GridListBoxSelectionCurrentCellOptions.HideCurrentCell;

Haneef,
That worked beautifully. the problem is now i can't capture doubleclick.

Is there still a way to capture double click for the record that was selected?

Hi Jeremy,

You can try handling the TableControlCellDoubleClick event ot capture the mouse double click in a grid cell.Here is a code snippet

private void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellDoubleClick(object sender, GridTableControlCellClickEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("DoubleClick");
}

Best regards,
Haneef

Haneef,
Thanks! That worked.
I was actually using that event previously.

I switched to TableControlCurrentCellDoubleClick because the row wouldn't capture doubleclick unless I doubleclicked on a cell border.


Thanks Again!
Jeremy
