In the example I have provided the Name column has CellActivation set to ActivateOnly and CellClickAction set to CellSelect. Once the cell is selected the name disappears or is hidden. Once I leave the cell the name displays again. I have set CellClickAction to CellSelect because I just want the cell selected so the end user can double click on the cell to load a form.
Is there a better or different way I should be handling this?
You don't need a CreationFilter to fix this. The cell text is turning white because of the ActiveCellAppearance which is applied to the grid by default. Just remove it (or Change the ForeColor) and it will work fine.
FAQ:How do I turn off the ActiveRowAppearance so that the active row in the grid does not appear selected.
That fixed it. Thank you.
