I have a program in which a user selects a row in a Datagrid

  • 0

I have a program in which a user selects a row in a Datagrid and then clicks a “Start Recording” button. While “recording” is happening, they are not allowed to change the value selected in the datagrid, so I set IsEnabled to false. However, when the datagrid is set to be disabled, it deselects the selected row, which screws up any bindings I have to the datagrid’s SelectedItem propery.

Is there any way to keep the datagrid row selected even though the control is disabled?

Edit: This does not happen in Windows Vista, but it does in Windows 7.

    If you really want to ‘record’ actions but still keep visuals and interactions looking the same, why don’t you just add a check to the event fired on selection to ensure that recording is not taking place and set e.Handled = true.

    Alternatively you could set IsHitTestVisible = false and prevent them from taking actions in the control instead of disabling it outright.

    Hope that helps.
