I have several [perhaps 40] read only grid across my application. Most of the grids have a Chekbox column. Whenever user moves the cursor on the check box it gets highlighted though AllowUpdate and cellactivation options are disabled.
I am looking for some solution, where I can turnoff this highlight.
Thanks

Hi,
If the Activation on the cell is disabled, then it certainly should not be hot-tracking when the mouse moves over it. Are you sure it's actually disabled and not just using some other activation setting that does not allow editing?
Either way, the highlighting is part of the themed look of the checkbox. So one way to turn this off would be to turn off themes. You could set the UseOsThemes property on the grid to false to turn off themes on the whole grid. Or... you could set the column's CellAppearance.ThemedElementAlpha to Transparent to turn off themes just in the checkbox cells.
