Gets or sets whether a selection is highlighted. This is a dependency property.

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Spreadsheet

#Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type Path to HideSelection
SpreadsheetBehaviorOptions
.Selection .HideSelection

#Remarks

By default, the HideSelection property is false, and the SpreadsheetControl highlights the selected cells in a worksheet and changes the color of the affected row and column headers. To disable this behavior, set the HideSelection property to true. Note that in this case, end-users can determine the currently active cell using the Name box that is a part of the SpreadsheetFormulaBarControl control.

spreadsheetControl.Options.Behavior.Selection.HideSelection = true;
HideSelection = false (default) HideSelection = true
DXSpreadsheet_HighlightSelection DXSpreadsheet_HideSelection
