DataGrid - Remove left arrow

[Ator]

Hi
I have a really big problem I cant find a solution for.

Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the black arrow to the left, that points out the selected row?
I really want to get rid of that arrow.

Im using VS2003.

You may want to look for alternatives to the Datagrid. There are quite a few out there.

 

[Ator]

No, I dont want alternatives.

The datagrid is just fine, I just wonder if it's possible to remove this arrow.

You can make a lot of graphical changes to the datagrid that is not implemented as standard, so I think its not impossible to remove this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

The Windows Forms FAQ has a sample that shows how to colour the rowheader and draw custom text on it - with a small mod you should be able to just paint over the glyph:

But if I want to remove the column too, in which the arrow is located?

 

[SHelton]

dataGrid1.RowHeadersVisible = false;

 

[Ator]

RowHeadersVisible doesn remove the most left arrow containing the arrow.

RowHeadersVisible indicates whether the _row headers_ are visible

 

[SHelton]

RowHeadersVisible doesn remove the most left arrow containing the arrow.

Does on my system. Do you want to post some code so we can take a look ?

Tried it on mine and it does except i used the properties window. Cannot think why that does not work for you?

Age is a consequence of experience

Yes, it does work now hehe

One mistake of mine, I had a underlaying DataGridTableStyle that I´ve forgotten about. This style did have the property set to true. :|

I the previous post of mine, I said that "RowHeadersVisible doesn remove the most left arrow containing the arrow." Thats not true I ment the "ColumnHeadersVisible". I dont know why I mixed RowHeadersVisible with ColumnHeadersVisible hehe

But thank you for replying my posts.

Kind regards
