Customize Appearance Settings of Read-only Cells

To change the appearance settings of read-only cells, use the ColumnBase.CellStyle property with a trigger. Use the LightweightCellEditor as the style’s target type.

Xaml

<dxg:TreeListColumn.CellStyle>
    <Style TargetType="dxg:LightweightCellEditor">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="ReadOnly" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightGray" />                               
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</dxg:TreeListColumn.CellStyle>
