datagrid woes

[Jesse Aufiero]

Hi all,

I have a disabled datagrid on my form. Disabling it was, it seemed, the
only way to prevent the user from being able to change the selected row or
modify the appearance of the grid in any way.

The problem is that I need working scrollbars on this grid, and disabling
the grid also disables the scrollbars.

Is there a way to get the grid to behave as though it were disabled, except
for it's scrollbars?

Thank you,
Jesse

I think if you set the DataGrid's ReadOnly property to true, that should do it.

thanks, but what i'm after here is not a restriction on the editability of
the data in the grid, but on the appearance changes that a user can make by
clicking here and clicking there. Rows get highlighted, cells get
highlighted and have a dotted border around them. Scrolling is possible if
the user touches low enough on the bottom row. All these things I want to
prevent... and yet still have scrollbar functionality.
