Hi Mike,

thanks, but the manual does not describe how to show the dotted line around the checkbox itself. It only shows how to remove the dotted line.

thanks

Hi,

I have implemented a drawfilter to draw a dotted line around the checkIndicatorUIElement. This works fine ;-) BUT since the Element is also drawn completely to the left ( x = 0 ) I want to move it a couple to pixels to the right. Somehow the location property is not the right way....

Maybe you could give me a hint what to do:

drawParams.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red), elementRect.X , elementRect.Y + 1, elementRect.Width, elementRect.Height);

else

return Infragistics.Win.DrawPhase.BeforeDrawElement;

else

Please I have the same issue as you.

Please how did you implement the DrawFilter?

Thanks. I think I figured this out

For the next one looking for the complete solution, here it is

                DrawFilter = new FocusDrawFilter();
            }
        }

        private class FocusDrawFilter : IUIElementDrawFilter
        {
            private bool _wasMyCheckEditorMoved;

            DrawPhase IUIElementDrawFilter.GetPhasesToFilter(ref UIElementDrawParams drawParams)
            {
                if (drawParams.Element is UltraCheckControlUIElement)
                {
                    return DrawPhase.BeforeDrawElement;
                }
                if (drawParams.Element is CheckIndicatorUIElement)
                {
                    return DrawPhase.BeforeDrawElement;
                }
                return DrawPhase.None;
            }

            bool IUIElementDrawFilter.DrawElement(DrawPhase drawPhase, ref UIElementDrawParams drawParams)
            {
                if (drawParams.Element is UltraCheckControlUIElement)
                {
                    // move the UltraCheckEditor to the left for the same number of pixels
                    // as the width of the pen because we moved every child element
                    // to leave enough space to draw the left side of the focus rectangle
                    if(!_wasMyCheckEditorMoved)
                    {

                    }
                }
                else if (drawParams.Element is CheckIndicatorUIElement)

                        //draw the focus rectangle outside the checkbox
                        drawParams.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, elementRect.X - PenWidth, elementRect.Y - PenWidth, elementRect.Width + PenWidth, elementRect.Height + PenWidth);
                        return false;
                    }
                }
                return false;
            }
        }

        private class FocusCreationFilter  : IUIElementCreationFilter
        {
            #region Implementation of IUIElementCreationFilter

            bool IUIElementCreationFilter.BeforeCreateChildElements(UIElement parent)
            {
                return false;
            }

            void IUIElementCreationFilter.AfterCreateChildElements(UIElement parent)
