Hi
I am having difficulty disabling in cell editing in the whole grid. What I am looking for is behavior similar to an old fashioned list view in the report view (ie click a row anywhere to select the whole row).
I have tried playing with the SelectionTypeRecord, SelectionTypeField and SelectionTypeCell properties but they have no effect. I know this can be achieved on a cell by cell basis but this seems a bit of an inefficient way of doing it. Does anyone know why the aforementioned properties have no effect or am I just missing something?
Also could someone point me at how the change the colour of cell text in C# from the codebehind, I am new to WPF but am I looking at altering a style?
Thanks
Alan
Hello Alan,
Actually what you are looking for is CellClickAction property of the FieldSettings object in the XamDataGrid. You can set that to SelectRecord and when you click anywhere in the DataRecord, it will be selected.
You can change the color of the cell text in procedural code, throught the correspondant CellValuePresenter. You can use the static get methods of the CellValuePresenter (CellValuePresenter.FromCell(), CellValuePresenter.FromRecordAndField()) and then set its Foreground property.
If you would like to change that based on a cell value, you can use converters.
Please follow this link for more information on this (with the difference that the Background instead of Foreground is changed)

Please let me know if you have any more questions on this.
Coming back on the text color I'm still having problems.
I need to set the text color of each row depending on a color supplied at run time by a field in the datasource. The color is set by the end user and can be anything. I have managed to get half way there using this code
private Style s;private Style s2;private Setter se;private Setter se2;private void xamDataGrid1_InitializeRecord(object sender, Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter.Events.InitializeRecordEventArgs e){ //e.Record.DataPresenter.Background = Brushes.Red; DataRecord dr = e.Record as DataRecord;
if (dr != null) { if (((string)dr.Cells[5].Value).Trim() == "MR") { s = new Style(); se = new Setter(); se.Property = CellValuePresenter.ForegroundProperty; se.Value = Brushes.Red; s.Setters.Add(se); dr.Cells[5].Field.Settings.CellValuePresenterStyle = s; } else { s2 = new Style(); se2 = new Setter(); se2.Property = CellValuePresenter.ForegroundProperty; se2.Value = Brushes.Aquamarine; s2.Setters.Add(se2); dr.Cells[5].Field.Settings.CellValuePresenterStyle = s2; } } }
This kinda works when you scroll down the list but when you scroll back the event is no longer fired (I guess because of virtual loading) but all the items are re-rendered in aquamarine.
Any ideas please?
Once again thank you for your very helpful reply. I also wanted to stop cell editing on double click and also needed to set AllowEdit="False" in the FieldSettings object. Now it works great and I will be purchasing. I have to say that your product and support are far better than that of your main competitors.
