Remarks

The EnableAppearanceFocusedCell property specifies whether the appearance settings specified by the GridViewAppearances.FocusedCell property are in effect.

If the focused cell is a custom painted cell or its appearance settings are specified in the GridView.RowCellStyle event handler, setting the EnableAppearanceFocusedCell property has no effect.

Refer to the Appearance and Conditional Formatting document for more information on customizing the appearance settings of individual cells.

Example

This example shows how to paint the focused cell using the same appearance as the entire focused row:

Grid_HighlightEntireFocusedRow

// Make the grid read-only.
gridView1.OptionsBehavior.Editable = false;
// Prevent the focused cell from being highlighted.
gridView1.OptionsSelection.EnableAppearanceFocusedCell = false;
// Draw a dotted focus rectangle around the entire row.
gridView1.FocusRectStyle = DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.DrawFocusRectStyle.RowFocus;
