Row separator lines in Datagrids

Post by phaworth » Fri Aug 13, 2010 9:55 pm

Is it possible to have a line between rows of a datagrid? I've switched off the alternating color property but would like to have some sort of separation between rows.
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete,

Yes it possible, but not with the API. Simply draw a line in the template of your datagrid form or several lines (one by columns) in the template of your datagrid table.

You will obtain something like this datagrid on the left of the image:

Thanks, sounds like that will work fine.

I don't recognise the screen image you included in your reply - that's not the normal IDE right?
