ShowMarquee Property

In This Topic

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

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property ShowMarquee As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As GridBase
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.ShowMarquee = value
 
value = instance.ShowMarquee

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.

Example

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;
