Hi

As u said there will be having some pixel of space between each cells in UltraGrid, that is why, the entire row is getting selected. To me, this is clear now...... But, is there any way to restrict this kind of row selection?  i.e., when the row is got selected, the background of the entire row is become Blue colour, now my question is.... how to change the background colour of that row from blue to transparent one?

could u help me what kind of property i have to set inorder to overcome this problem?

I'm afraid you've lost me. Where are you clicking and what property are you setting to None? it appears to me that we are not longer talking about the same issue that was originally posted.

The original issue had to do with clicking on the one pixel between rows. You say you want the row to be selected when you click the RowSelector. So setting SelectTypeRow in your case will not work, because doing this will mean you cannot select a row, ever - and that's not what you want. 

Hello

 I have the same problem, so I will continue this topic.

What i want is to prevent row selection in whole grid (clicking between cells, clicking row selector, maybe others). Setting SelectTypeRow to none almost do the job - it prevents row from becoming blue but it is still "active". It has focus rectangle and navigation (with arrows) works like row was still selected.

Activation isn't the same thing as selection; activation has to do with input focus.  If you want to prevent activation of rows and cells, handle the BeforeRowActivate and BeforeCellActivate events of the grid, and in both, set e.Cancel = true.

If you do this, you might also consider setting the grid's SyncWithCurrencyManager property to false.  That'll prevent the situatoin where changing the Current item in your data source would cause the grid to try to activate a row.

Than you for answer, but...

Maybe I have different version (2005) but in BeforeRowActivate there is RowEventArgs parameter, so there is no Cancel.

Secondly, when I click cell i have two events: BeforeRowActivate and then BeforeCellActivate (clicking on row generates only BeforeRowActivate) so even if I had Cancel i wouldnt know if i should set it to true.

There is also no SyncWithCurrencyManager in grid...

The "BeforeRowActivate" part of my message is a mistake.  You're correct - this event isn't cancelable.  Normally, this would be handled by instead cancelling the BeforeRowDeactivate event, but you're trying to keep any rows from becoming active in the first place.  Perhaps you can try handling AfterRowActivate instead, and in that event set the ActiveRow to null (to deactivate all rows).  I haven't tested this, so it may be possible that you can't set the active row in this event; if that's the situation, you may need to use BeginInvoke() to delay the setting of the grid's ActiveRow until the AfterRowActivate event completes.

The SyncWithCurrencyManager property probably wasn't added until a later version of WinGrid.

I'm a bit puzzled by your statement of "I wouldn't know if I should set it to true."  Are you trying to prevent row activation altogether, or just prevent the row itself from being activated and selected when you click on the row's borders?

Hi Dorine,

You mean when you click on the edge in between rows? I don't think there is any way to stop that, except to set up your grid in such a way that the cells cover the rows completely.

Try setting RowLayoutMode on the band to ColumnLayout and I think that might do it.

Hello,

I reopen this subject because I want to know if it is possible to disable this row selection when clicking on cell boundaries.

I only want the grid user to select row by the row selector.

Do you know if it's possible?

Thanks.

Dorine
