How to tell a DataGrid to use a customized DataGridTextBoxColumn

[Jaco Karsten]

I am writing a customized DataGrid control which will allow the user to only
select an entire row (and not a cell inside the row). So I want to add
readonly columns to the datagrid. To achieve this, instead of using a
"DataGridTextBoxColumn" inside the datagrid I want the control to use a
"DataGridTextBoxColumn" that has a disabled "Edit" method. Therefor I have
created my own version of a "DataGridTextBoxColumn" class called
"ReadOnlyDataGridTextBox".

How do I get the DataGrid to use my "ReadOnlyDataGridTextBox instead of the
default "DataGridTextBoxColumn"?

dataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(new DataGridTableStyle());
dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].MappingName = "Table1";
ReadOnlyDataGridTextBox style = new ReadOnlyDataGridTextBox();
style.MappingName = "Kol1";
dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles.Clear();
dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles.Add(style);


I hope it helps.
