Disabling frozen col/rows indication

[Jimmy]

If I freeze the first column and the two first rows I get some wierd blue lines.

If I disable frozen the frozen cells the lines go away.

See the (mangled, sorry) screenshot.

How can I disable them or make them the same color as the background ?

Thanks.

You can change the color of that line using this property, but you cannot remove it entirely.

this.gridControl1.Properties.FixedLinesColor

Could you file that as a feature request ?

Thanks.

You can make this border anything you like by handling QueryCellInfo, and in the handler if e.ColIndex points to your frozen column, then set e.Style.Border.Right = new GridBorder(....); to have teh border you want to see.

private void gridControl1_QueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.ColIndex == this.gridControl1.Cols.FrozenCount&& e.RowIndex > 0)
	{
		e.Style.Borders.Right = new GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Dotted, SystemColors.ActiveCaption);//, GridBorderWeight.Thin);
	}
}

I was able to generate some fun results using the code below. But the frozen cell lines was still drawn on top. Changing the colors to white, didn't help. I am using the wierd colors to make it clearer. See the screenshot.

Also I am still on 1.5 - does the tip solve it on 1.6 ?

void GridQueryCellInfo(object sender, GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
if (e.RowIndex > 0 && e.ColIndex > 0)
{
e.Style.CellType = "Static";

if( e.ColIndex == this.gridControl1.Cols.FrozenCount )
{
e.Style.Borders.Right = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.Solid, System.Drawing.Color.DeepPink );//, GridBorderWeight.Thin);
}
if( e.ColIndex == this.gridControl1.Cols.FrozenCount+1 )
{
e.Style.Borders.Left = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.Solid, System.Drawing.Color.DeepSkyBlue );//, GridBorderWeight.Thin);
}
if( e.RowIndex == this.gridControl1.Rows.FrozenCount+1 )
{
e.Style.Borders.Top = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.Solid, System.Drawing.Color.DeepPink );//, GridBorderWeight.Thin);
}
if( e.RowIndex == this.gridControl1.Rows.FrozenCount )
{
e.Style.Borders.Bottom = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.Solid, System.Drawing.Color.Orange );//, GridBorderWeight.Thin);
}

Just tested -- upgrading didn't solve it.

It is not a major issue (yet) since it seems that I am the only person who have noticed the glitch.

I was able to get rid of the frozen lines by turning off the gridlines, and having the cell's draw the borders. You do not have to use QueryCellInfo. Attached is a little sample. (The grid's default drawing only draws the bottom and right borders, so normally you do not have to set the top and left borders).

public Form1()
{
	InitializeComponent();

	this.gridControl1.Rows.FrozenCount = 1;
	this.gridControl1.Cols.FrozenCount = 1;

	gridControl1.TableStyle.Borders.Right = new GridBorder(gridControl1.DefaultGridBorderStyle, SystemColors.ActiveCaption);
	gridControl1.Properties.DisplayVertLines = false;

	gridControl1.TableStyle.Borders.Bottom = new GridBorder(gridControl1.DefaultGridBorderStyle, SystemColors.ActiveCaption);
	gridControl1.Properties.DisplayHorzLines = false;
}

[Jimmy]

Yeah, that almost worked.

Thanks.

Here's some code that solves it:

gridControl1.Properties.DisplayVertLines = false;
gridControl1.Properties.DisplayHorzLines = false;

gridControl1.TableStyle.Borders.Top = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.Solid, System.Drawing.Color.White );
gridControl1.TableStyle.Borders.Bottom = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.Solid, System.Drawing.Color.White );
gridControl1.TableStyle.Borders.Left = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.Solid, System.Drawing.Color.White );
gridControl1.TableStyle.Borders.Right = new GridBorder( GridBorderStyle.Solid, System.Drawing.Color.White );

I think

gridControl1.TableStyle.Borders.All = GridBorder.Empty;

should also work.
