C1.Xamarin.Forms.Grid.GridBase.ShowMarquee

ShowMarquee Property

ShowMarquee

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the grid shows an Excel-style marquee around the current selection.

Declaration

public bool ShowMarquee { get; set; }

Remarks

By default, the marquee is black and two pixels thick. You can customize the appearance of the marquee using the Marquee property.

Examples

The code below shows how you can create a marquee with a thick rounded red border and semi-transparent red interior and use that to highlight the selection instead of the regular SelectionBackground and CursorBackground properties.

// customize the marquee
var m = _flex.Marquee;
m.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
m.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(0x20, 0xff, 0x80, 0x80));
m.StrokeThickness = 4;
m.RadiusX = 3;
m.RadiusY = 3;

// show the marquee
_flex.ShowMarquee = true;

// no need to highlight the selection/cursor
_flex.SelectionBackground = null;
_flex.CursorBackground = null;
