Disable cell highlighting on GDBG

[Doug Lind]

Hi,

I am using GDBG to show the contents of datatables. The grids are set as no adds, deletes or edits, but you can still select cells and the hightlight as if an edit is possible, though no changes are accepted. If a date field is selected, it even opens the datetime picker.

The app supports column dragging and row selection so this must be retained. It also has context menu items that respond to the current row clicked on. Selecting cells is OK, it''s just the highlighting and opening edit controls that is perplexing our clients. Is there a way to turn this behavior off?

Thanks,

Doug

If you want to avoid a cell ever starting to edit, cancel the CurrentCellStartEditing event.

private void gridDataBoundGrid1_CurrentCellStartEditing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
	e.Cancel = true;
}

Is there a way to do this on a per column basis?

Try checking grid.CurrentCell.ColIndex to decide whether you want to cancel or not.
