Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that I helped you to resolve your issue and I believe that other community members may benefit from this as well. Also I can say that such FAQ section about every control, not just XamDataGrid, is preparing at the moment and it will be available in our new website, which is under construction at the moment and will be launched very soon.

Thanks again.

It seems the forum is having difficulty, acting like posting failed when it actually didn't.

Thanks! So in summary,

• To disable hot-tracking, apply a style to igDP:DataRecordCellArea, with BackgroundHover and BorderHoverBrush set to Transparent, as the sample demonstrates.
• To disable the cell-selection highlight, you could apply a style to igDP:CellValuePresenter with BackgroundSelected, BorderSelectedBrush, BackgroundActive, and BorderActiveBrush all set to Transparent. However, I learned that there is a simpler way, by setting the FieldSettings property of XamDataGrid: 
          <igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldSettings>
              <igDP:FieldSettings CellClickAction="SelectRecord"/>
          </igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldSettings>
• FieldLayoutSettings can be used to disable column stacking. Also, RecordSelectorLocation="None" disables the column on the left (whose purpose I don't understand anyway):
      <igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
          <igDP:FieldLayoutSettings AllowFieldMoving="WithinLogicalRow"
            RecordSelectorLocation="None" />
      </igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
• I guess changing the text of the scrolling tooltip requires that you copy the big HierarchicalDataTemplate element from the XAML of the sample application, and change the ContentControl part to:
      <ContentControl Content="{Binding Path=Record.DataItem.PropertyOfVM}"/>
  where PropertyOfVM is the name of a property in your viewmodel. 
• And for anyone else reading this, a property on XamDataGrid itself, GroupByAreaLocation="None", disables the group-by area.

I think Infragistics should start a FAQ about XamDataGrid (I haven't noticed one anywhere).

Hello again,

I modified the sample I sent you before, so now it has the functionality you want. I changed the AllowFieldMoving Property to WithinLogicalRow and now you can reorder the Fields, but you cannot stack them. If you want to change the SelectedColor you can set the DataRecordCellArea’s BackgroundSelected and BackgroundActive colors to whatever colors you want. Also I can say that the DataContext of the Content Control is RecordScrollTipInfo object, which has a Record Property of DataRecord type, which refer to the Record that will become in view.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks. I am still having a couple of problems:

• I do not want to disable drag-and-drop column reordering (curiously, <igDP:FieldLayoutSettings AllowFieldMoving="No"/> doesn't actually disable column dragging, only dropping). I only want to disable column stacking.
• I replaced the attribute "HERE YOU CAN MAKE YOUR BINDING TO YOUR VIEWMODEL" with "{Binding Path=SummaryString}" where SummaryString is a property in my viewmodel, but it didn't work (the tooltip becomes a small empty blob). Perhaps the DataContext of the ContentControl is not the viewmodel... but then, what is it and how do I reach the viewmodel?
• And one new question, how is it possible to make the row selection a little darker so that it's easier to see? Could I even use a dark selection rectangle and invert the text color to white on the selected row?
