There are 2 ways to hide or remove the grid lines: Your first (and easiest) option is to set the GridLineColor and GridLineBackColor properties to Color.Transparent. Your second option is to create a class the derives from the DataCell class and override the Borders property to remove the grid lines completely.
Demonstration
The following example demonstrates how to hide the grid lines by setting the grid's GridLineColor and GridLineBackColor properties to Color.Transparent:
| VB.NET |
 Copy Code |
|
GridControl1.GridLineColor = Color.Transparent
GridControl1.GridLineBackColor = Color.Transparent
|
| C# |
Copy Code |
|
gridControl1.GridLineColor = Color.Transparent;
gridControl1.GridLineBackColor = Color.Transparent;
|
The next example demonstrates how to derive from the DataCell class to override the Borders property and remove the grid lines completely. Keep in mind that you also need to create a class that derives from the DataRow class that will contain your custom cells.
| VB.NET |
Copy Code |
|
Public Class CustomDataCell
Inherits DataCell
Protected Sub New ( ByVal template As CustomDataCell )
MyBase.New( template )
End Sub
Public Sub New( ByVal parentColumn As Column )
MyBase.New( parentColumn )
End Sub
Protected Overrides Function CreateInstance() As Cell
Return New CustomDataCell( Me )
End Function
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Borders As Borders
Get
Return Borders.Empty
End Get
End Property
End Class
Public Class CustomDataRow
Inherits Xceed.Grid.DataRow
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
End Sub
Protected Sub New( ByVal template As CustomDataRow )
MyBase.New( template )
End Sub
Protected Overrides Function CreateCell( ByVal parentColumn As Column ) As Cell
Return New CustomDataCell( parentColumn )
End Function
Protected Overrides Function CreateInstance() As Row
Return New CustomDataRow( Me )
End Function
End Class
|
| C# |
Copy Code |
|
public class CustomDataCell : DataCell
{
protected CustomDataCell( CustomDataCell template )
: base( template ){}
public CustomDataCell( Column parentColumn )
: base( parentColumn ){}
protected override Cell CreateInstance()
{
return new CustomDataCell( this );
}
public override Borders Borders
{
get{ return Borders.Empty; }
}
}
public class CustomDataRow : Xceed.Grid.DataRow
{
public CustomDataRow()
: base(){}
protected CustomDataRow( CustomDataRow template )
: base( template ){}
protected override Cell CreateCell( Column parentColumn )
{
return new CustomDataCell( parentColumn );
}
protected override Row CreateInstance()
{
return new CustomDataRow( this );
}
}

In order to use your new DataRow and DataCell, you must assign a new instance of your custom DataRow class to the DataRowTemplate property of the grid:
| VB.NET |
Copy Code |
GridControl1.DataRowTemplate = new CustomDataRow() |
| C# |
Copy Code |
gridControl1.DataRowTemplate = new CustomDataRow(); |
