How to Disable Focus on Grid Cells in WinForms GridGroupingControl?
Disable the focus on grid cells
To disable the focus on the cells for making the read-only grid cells, you can cancel the TableControlCurrentCellActivating event in WinForms GridGroupingControl. In the following code example, the focus is disabled only on the record cells as you can apply filtering even when the Grid is ReadOnly.
//disables the focus on the RecordFieldCell
void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellActivating(object sender, GridTableControlCurrentCellActivatingEventArgs e)
{
GridTableCellStyleInfo style = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.GetTableViewStyleInfo(e.Inner.RowIndex, e.Inner.ColIndex);
if(style.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell || style.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.AlternateRecordFieldCell)
{
e.Inner.Cancel = true;
}
}'disables the focus on the RecordFieldCell
Private Sub gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCurrentCellActivating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridTableControlCurrentCellActivatingEventArgs)
Dim style As GridTableCellStyleInfo = Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.GetTableViewStyleInfo(e.Inner.RowIndex, e.Inner.ColIndex)
If style.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType = GridTableCellType.RecordFieldCell OrElse style.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType = GridTableCellType.AlternateRecordFieldCell Then
e.Inner.Cancel = True
End If
End SubAfter applying the properties, the Grid is
displayed as follows.
