  I have an older version of the WPF Spread Sheet control - 1.0.4.0.

  I can move the active cell selection to wherever I want, but I can’t seem to clear it when I don’t want there to be an active cell selection… It seems there always has to be an active cell selection…

  I want to create a “read-only” view of my Spread Sheet control, but there’s always the active cell selection.

  I’ve tried sheet.ClearSelections, setting ActiveCell to null, ActiveRowIndex, ColumnIndex -1, etc. Nothing will make this selection go away!

  Help!

  See screen capture for example.

  Hi,
  
  This is the design behavior of Spread sheet to select at least first cell.
  
  However, you can achieve your requirement using the below workaround. Please use the below steps and shifting your design one column right:

  1. Set the selection color as transparent in window’s Loaded Event:

  gcSpreadSheet1.ActiveSheet.SelectionBorderColor = Colors.Transparent;
          gcSpreadSheet1.ActiveSheet.SelectionBackground = Brushes.Transparent;
  

  2. Hide the first column in window’s Loaded Event:

  gcSpreadSheet1.ActiveSheet.SetActiveCell(-1, -1);
          gcSpreadSheet1.ActiveSheet.Columns[0].IsVisible = False;
  

  3. Always set the selection on first cell in SelectionChanging Event

  gcSpreadSheet1.ActiveSheet.ClearSelections();
          gcSpreadSheet1.ActiveSheet.SetActiveCell(-1, -1);
  

  Hope, this will solve your issue.

  Thanks,
