wpf: DataGrid disable selected row styles - or row selecting

Question

I am seeing a lot of examples on how to style Selected rows in DataGrid such as this one:

How can I set the color of a selected row in DataGrid

Can i just disabled selected row styling? i don't want to have to override every single thing that selected row changes. Just don't want any visible changes. Gotta be easier way than to create templates..

or..

disable selecting rows, if that is easier.. but from browsing this forum that seems hacky as well

Disable selecting in WPF DataGrid

Answer 1

figured out the XAML to get rid of selection style.. not ideal, but close enough..

<Style x:Key="CellStyle" TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="{x:Null}" />
            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{x:Null}" />
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Here's what worked for me:

<DataGrid>
    <DataGrid.CellStyle>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="DataGridCell.IsSelected" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <SolidColorBrush Color="Transparent"/>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                    <Setter Property="Foreground"
                            Value="{DynamicResource
                                   {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}"/>
                    <Setter Property="Background">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <SolidColorBrush Color="Transparent"/>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </DataGrid.CellStyle>
    <!-- ... -->
</DataGrid>

Answer 3

I found another way that works well for my situation. I set this style for all cells because I don't want the user to select any cells.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
    <Setter Property="IsHitTestVisible" Value="False"/>
</Style>
