Hi everyone,

Silverlight datagrid has a feature of highlighting a row on mouse over and click events by default. In my case, i don't want to highlight the rows, because here the grid is being used just to display some info(read-only). Can any one help me. Thanks in advance. . .

For removing the highlighting, you need to apply styles to cell and rows of grid.
CellStyle: property is the one which will remove the light blue highlight around the currently selected cell
RowStyle: property is the one where you will be able to remove the light blue shade indicating the selected row.

Refer: How to remove the mouseover highlight and selected row highlight in a Silverlight datagrid[^]

For removing click:
Set IsReadOnly to true to disable editing.

Solution 3

You can set the IsReadOnly property to True. That way you can disable events and cancel the highlight of the row, even columns.

You can apply some Styles on the DataGrid, but I think is unnecessary for your scenario.

Hope it helps.
