How to change the selection border of the WinForms GridListControl?
Change the selection border
In WinForms GridListControl, normally selection border is in dotted line if you need to customize the selection border of the GridListControl, you can use GridBorder which can be achieved by using the PrepareViewStyleInfo event.
C#
this.gridListControl1.Grid.PrepareViewStyleInfo += Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo;
void Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
//Change the selection border
if (this.gridListControl1.HasControlFocus && this.gridListControl1.Grid.CurrentCell.HasCurrentCellAt(e.RowIndex))
{
GridBorder thinBorder = new GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Solid, SystemColors.Highlight, GridBorderWeight.Thin);
e.Style.Borders.Top = thinBorder;
e.Style.Borders.Bottom = thinBorder;
if (e.ColIndex == 1)
e.Style.Borders.Left = thinBorder;
if (e.ColIndex == gridListControl1.Grid.ColCount)
e.Style.Borders.Right = thinBorder;
}
}VB
AddHandler Me.gridListControl1.Grid.PrepareViewStyleInfo, AddressOf Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo
Private Sub Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs)
'Change the selection border
If Me.gridListControl1.HasControlFocus AndAlso Me.gridListControl1.Grid.CurrentCell.HasCurrentCellAt(e.RowIndex) Then
Dim thinBorder As New GridBorder(GridBorderStyle.Solid, SystemColors.Highlight, GridBorderWeight.Thin)

e.Style.Borders.Bottom = thinBorder
If e.ColIndex = 1 Then
e.Style.Borders.Left = thinBorder
End If
