How to hide or remove grid lines

[User (Old forums)]

There are 2 ways to hide or remove the grid lines: Your first (and easiest) option is to set the GridLineColor and GridLineBackColor properties to Color.Transparent. Your second option is to create a class the derives from the DataCell class and override the Borders property to remove the grid lines completely.

The following example demonstrates how to hide the grid lines by setting the grid’s GridLineColor and GridLineBackColor properties to Color.Transparent:

VB.NET GridControl1.GridLineColor = Color.Transparent GridControl1.GridLineBackColor = Color.Transparent C# gridControl1.GridLineColor = Color.Transparent; gridControl1.GridLineBackColor = Color.Transparent;

The next example demonstrates how to derive from the DataCell class to override the Borders property and remove the grid lines completely. Keep in mind that you also need to create a class that derives from the DataRow class that will contain your custom cells.

VB.NET Public Class CustomDataCell   Inherits DataCell Protected Sub New ( ByVal template As CustomDataCell )   MyBase.New( template ) End Sub Public Sub New( ByVal parentColumn As Column )   MyBase.New( parentColumn ) End Sub Protected Overrides Function CreateInstance() As Cell   Return New CustomDataCell( Me ) End Function Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Borders As Borders   Get     Return Borders.Empty   End Get End Property End Class Public Class CustomDataRow   Inherits Xceed.Grid.DataRow Public Sub New()   MyBase.New() End Sub Protected Sub New( ByVal template As CustomDataRow )   MyBase.New( template ) End Sub Protected Overrides Function CreateCell( ByVal parentColumn As Column ) As Cell   Return New CustomDataCell( parentColumn ) End Function Protected Overrides Function CreateInstance() As Row   Return New CustomDataRow( Me ) End Function End Class C# public class CustomDataCell : DataCell {   protected CustomDataCell( CustomDataCell template )     : base( template ){}   public CustomDataCell( Column parentColumn )     : base( parentColumn ){}   protected override Cell CreateInstance()   {     return new CustomDataCell( this );   }   public override Borders Borders   {     get{ return Borders.Empty; }   } } public class CustomDataRow : Xceed.Grid.DataRow {   public CustomDataRow()     : base(){}   protected CustomDataRow( CustomDataRow template )     : base( template ){}   protected override Cell CreateCell( Column parentColumn )   {     return new CustomDataCell( parentColumn );   }   protected override Row CreateInstance()   {     return new CustomDataRow( this );   } }

In order to use your new DataRow and DataCell, you must assign a new instance of your custom DataRow class to the DataRowTemplate property of the grid:

VB.NET  GridControl1.DataRowTemplate = New CustomDataRow() C# gridControl1.DataRowTemplate = new CustomDataRow();
