This solution has worked so far for most scenarios.  However, I am running into a situation where I am getting a StackOverFlowException because the XamDataGrid_ExecutedCommand was getting called recursively.  This occurs when you have fields in the xamdatagrid that are NOT editable (AllowEdit = false), and there are many records in the grid.  The ExcecutedCommand gets called for each cell in the grid, and by the time I get to the 136th cell, I get a StackOverFlowException. Do you have a recommendation for this scenario?

Alex,

   That seems like a lot of code and additional markup just to accomplish something that should be accomplished with  IsTabStop = false or Focusable=False (Already well know properties that perform the behavior we are wanting).  Why force the developers to write and maintain that additional unecessary code and wire it up in each column.

Hopefully in our situation we can find a way to get it into our base class window.

thanks - Rod

Rod,

Unbound or not, this should not matter. I am not sure if you have looked in the forum thread that I provided, but the idea is to handle the activation of the cell and switch the focus if you need to. I was referring to following code sample:

void xamDataGrid1_ExecutedCommand(object sender, Infragistics.Windows.Controls.Events.ExecutedCommandEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.Command == DataPresenterCommands.CellNextByTab)

            {

                if (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false)

                    xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellNextByTab);

            }

            if (e.Command == DataPresenterCommands.CellPreviousByTab)

            {

                if (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false)

                    xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellPreviousByTab);

            }

        } 

Not exactly the same - their example uses a field - not an UnboundField.  I have already tried the basic AllowEdit=False and Focusable=False and they do not work.

In our scenario the column cannot be clicked on - BUT if you tab through the columns, the Unboundcolumn will get a dashed border around it when tabbed onto.  Basically the field should not be a tabstop.

Basically all we are trying to do is place a label within a datagrid cell.

<Style x:Key="SillColumnStyle" TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}" >
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type igDP:CellValuePresenter}"  >
                <Label HorizontalAlignment="Left" TabIndex="0" IsTabStop="False" Focusable="False">Sill:</Label>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

<igDP:UnboundField >
    <igDP:Field.Settings>
        <igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit="False" CellValuePresenterStyle="{StaticResource SillColumnStyle}" />
    </igDP:Field.Settings>
</igDP>

any Suggestions?
